There is a tan dog that belongs to the house at the corner of S. Madison St. and Coolidge Dr. It is outside of the house, unleashed at least 2-3 times a week. The dog is sometimes aggressive to pedestrians and cyclists who pass by the house. I bike to work a couple of times a week and it has followed me for a couple of blocks and growls. I have seen it growl and chase pedestrians. I have tried talking to one of the individuals that lives there about the animal and they just became upset at me. The dog sometimes wanders off their property and down the half of the block into my yard and into my and my neighbor's yards. They send their middle school aged daughter down the street to get the animal and she comes into other peoples yards and back yards to get the animal. The dog does not come to her so just ends up chasing it back home. This has been taking place all summer since late May/early June.

LOCATED AT 212 N SHEFFIELD DR IN PARK RIDGE EAST. This neighbor continuously has pans of food on the ground. Sometimes it is birdseed, but it is currently cat food and has also been cheetoh balls. Walking by, we have witnessed many animals, other than birds and most often NOT birds, eating out of these pans. So many deer, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, cats. I am not looking for someone to necessarily get a fine, but I do know they’re aware of the deer feeding ordinance, but they have continued to do so so more education seems necessary about the harmful effects of this practice. There are pans in the front of the yard and also around back behind their garden. The dead grass all over the yard makes it a parent how much feeding has occurred over the years.

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.

There are 3 dogs that live at 913 W Graham Dr that are complete uncontrolled, have no collars or tags and are allowed to roam at all hours of the day. They are a black dog, a brown/red dog, and a brown and white pit bull. They are consistently harassing my dog and cats and eat my elderly neighbors’ cat food. Can someone please visit this property and speak with owners of these dogs?

I am really concerned about the well-being of several cats, particularly their health and safety. Because I am new to the neighborhood, I opted to take my client's dog on a different route than usual. We chose to travel down Indian Creek, and as I was bending the corner to walk down Arrow Ave, I noticed 5+ cats grooming themselves in the street. Thankfully, my client's dog is not reactive to cats, but this might become a serious issue for other dogs/owners if they lose control of their reactive dog. Within 3 minutes, I saw one cat chase another across the street while hissing and began hacking/coughing. Because I previously worked in animal care, I knew this wasn't a "hairball hack," but rather a respiratory infection. After our stroll, I decided to drive down Arrow Ave without my client's dog to get a better look at the cats. When I turned onto Arrow Ave, I noticed a white cat lying down on the street, motionless. I assumed they had been hit and were hurt, if not worse. Thankfully, this was not the case (I hope), and the cat raised its head but made no move to exit the street. As a result, I had to maneuver around the cat. I drove past once and then turned around to see if the same cat was still laying in the street, which it was. And had to yet again drive past it with three more cats sitting on the side of the road, making it a tight squeeze for a vehicle. One of the three cats resembled the one who was hacking/coughing and had their tongue hanging out the side of their mouth. If you want, I can provide you some images and videos. Please email me and I'll get them to you. I was trying to find the address on Google Maps street view. According to Google Maps, an identical chair in the 9-year-old shot still seems to be in the same spot. If it weren't for the moped parked in front along the street, you would assume the property was abandoned.
