Oh, MY!

But four YOUR Safety, and the Safety of your FurKids ~
you really need to *think* this over before you do anything!

... neighbor right across the street from me that has a pit mix
who has a litter of puppies, about 5 or more cats, and
the homeowners are former drug abusers and dealers.

The owners of the dog have no electricity or water. ...
... they don't even have a front door ...
They are BAD NEWS and I don't think that theres' any
negotating with them at all.
It's possible "Jolly" is pruducing pups FOR SALE - and if YOU
interfere with the "income stream" - you might be in for a "ruff time"!

Before you worry about the DOGS - you might try to "eliminate"
the REAL Problem - the 2-Leggers!

If you're *sure* about the
* no electricity
* no water
* no front door ...

You ought to have a talk with >>>
1) the local Health Dept
2) the local Building Inspection Dept
3) Children's Services (if the have any Kids)

Around here - those conditions would earn you a "Condemned" sign
on the building and NO one could occupy it.


They have breed bans here, and if you own a pit bull,
you need to keep it on a leash at all times, and
provide proof of rabies if animal control ever wishes
to drop a surprise visit...
and I have heard that they'll take your pit or pit mix and
impound it if you don't have the rabies certificate...
they only give you a short time to get the certificate
or else they euthanize the dog.
I'd have a chat with the Dog Warden or Animal Control ...
Tell them what you know -
and ask if they'll play "Let's Make a Deal" with you:
* Let THEM go get the dogs (for no Rabies & no Licenses)
* Let THEM tell the owners what they have to do to get them back
* and when the "owners" don't pay up and get the required shots
* be sure Animal Control will Call YOU to bail them out (Legally)

You'll need to be sure you can afford the "fines" and/or "adoption fees"
that the Animal Control will probably have to charge you -
but who knows - they might mis-count the pups.

Can Fiance's MOM help by finding a Rescue that will take them in?
No matter what - I would NOT bring "Jolly" and/or her Pups back
to YOUR House - the "neighbors" prolly won't take that very well!

Good Luck -
but *think* about YOUR (and your FurKids') Safety before you act!
