Hello, My name is Claire Austin and I am creating a speech for Zionsville Community High School about why you should adopt rather than shop. I have a few questions I would appreciate you answering. 1. Why should someone choose to adopt a dog rather than go to a breeder? 2. Have you ever had a time in which the shelter was 100% empty? If so, what happened next? Where there more dogs imported? 3. On average, how many animals are euthanized in your shelter? Is that process painful to the animals? If you could respond to these questions that would be amazing and very helpful for my speech. Thank You!

A neighborhood deer died of natural causes (disease?) this past Monday March 26th on the sidewalk on the side of my house at 425 E Dodds St. We immediately called the city to report it and were told someone could come remove it on Tuesday or Wednesday. We called again Wednesday late afternoon and were told someone would probably come Thursday to remove it. It is now Friday evening, March 30th, and no one has come or contacted me. The deer is now decaying and something is starting to eat it at night. As the Bryan Park neighborhood have homes quite close together, I'm afraid the smell will start to bother the neighbor, and I'm afraid that the dead animal is becoming a health hazard and will spread disease. I was told when I called on Wednesday no one had come to remove it yet because the vehicle that is typically used was out of service, but that it would probably be back in service on Thursday. If the vehicle is not yet back in service, the city should hire a contractor to come remove the deer - I would have done so myself at the beginning of the week if I had known it was going to be left rotting all week. Thanks for your assistance, and for everyone's peace of mind I have not attached a picture.

Ms. Cunningham called with a concern about a raccoon in the Gentry Quarters dumpster and how she had been treated by Animal Control. She called the landlord, Health Dept, and Animal Control and was given the runaround at all 3 about the raccoon. She claims to have been told by Animal Control that "we're closed today and don't have anyone to help you." She's expressed concerns that the landlord leaves the JB's Disposal dumpster lid open, inviting in the raccoon, and HAND hasn't been helpful with the tenant-landlord complaint. She was quite frustrated -- not only to not get answers to her questions, or help with the raccoon, but to feel like she'd been brushed off and given the run around by so many departments. As soon as I hung up with Ms. Cunningham, I took a second call from another Gentry Quarters resident with concerns about the raccoon. Is Animal Control available to assist with the raccoon? Thanks for your help.
