Animal Control & Neglected Pets
2400 S Madison ST
- Case Date:
- 5/10/2023
Blue house on SW corner Madison/Coolidge - owners constantly allowing dog to roam off leash and unsupervised, even though they have a fenced yard. Dog barks aggressively at people and other dogs that walk by and often approaches them. Owners will claim “he won’t hurt ya”. If dog is unleashed roaming around and being observed it is often by one of the younger children. Recently witnessed dog roaming across the street while residents were getting in the car to leave and seemed to have barely remembered or noticed dog was outside. We frequently see dog outside in yard during rainy weather on stoop leading in to garage. Owners are irresponsible and neglectful.
Animal Control & Neglected Pets

Our neighbors at 2400 s Madison often leave their dog outside all day, and it barks nonstop. It often gets out of it's fenced yard and aggressively corners people walking the neighborhood and lunges at other dogs on leash and people. I have called a live complaint to animal control recently, and my wife has in the past, but most recently the owners took the dog in their car, drove around the corner, and waited for animal control to leave and then came back, at which point the dog was immediately wandering around the neighborhood while they were inside ignoring it for several hours. The owners are clearly negligent and have not made any effort to protect others or this dog in situations where he is being aggressive and they have been asked to intervene directly and even become irate claiming the dog "has the right to" the neighborhood.
Today I am writing this complaint because the dog has been outside barking every few seconds for the past 8 hours, and for the middle of the day was free and roaming the surrounding intersection. I do not see a car at my neighbors home and am not even sure if they are there.
