I would like to compliment the Animal Control department for a job well done. I live in College Mall Apts. on E. 2nd St. near the Mall. There was a clearly injured rabbit hunched down at the play ground area for over 8 hrs that wouldn't move even when approached. The shoulder of the rabbit seemed dislocated and I was afraid a child would try to pick it up, causing severe pain to the animal who would seriously claw or bite the child. I decided to call Animal Control and an officer was sent out who arrived quickly and did a thorough search of the playground area. What we saw when she arrived was one rabbit, somewhat unafraid of human proximity, but hopping around in a reasonably normal fashion. The spot was clear where the injured rabbit had been sitting. Apparently what happened was the rabbit managed, after hours of painful effort, to nudge its shoulder joint back into place, and was just trying things out again as the officer arrived. No way to anticipate that happening. Having the Animal Control officers respond to these situations that may seem innocuous is the right policy. Things could easily have turned out differently and the officer's response could have saved a serious injury to a child, as this occurred exactly at the playground area of College Mall Apts. In a wildlife friendly town like ours, human-animal interactions are very common, and children don't always show the proper caution. Many thanks to that officer and the City. Job well done.

We continue to have 2 neighborhood dogs running lose in Spicewood II. They are seldom put on a leash when outside. I’ve reported it before. I hope to see animal control in here patrolling. I’m tired of cleaning up their poop. Thank you in advance.

1807 E. Wexley Road. Daily and nightly barking of two dogs left in fenced in back yard (whether owners are home or not.) Police and humane society visits approx a year ago. (Owners saw police/humane society car/person/officer and brought in dogs swiftly.) No changes ever since then. No peace in the neighborhood. Have also written owners polite requests with no change. I gave up but must try again as my home is not restful at all with the incessant barking.

There is a house (to the left of the entrance when you go in) with two German shepherds that bark incessantly every time we try to enter the park. It’s scary to small kids, and if they couldn’t keep their first dog from barking, I don’t see why they got a second puppy.
