It sounds like all you've done all you possibly can to try and handle this kindly and diplomatically. Unfortunately, it sounds like they choose not to listen to your advice or appreciate your concern. It sounds like this doggie is bound to get hit, sooner of later unless someone intervenes. Here, when you place a call to animal control, you must give your name BUT, they do not reveal the name to the person you are calling about. They try hard not to stir up bad feelings; just assure the safety of the animal. I can't believe that animal control hasn't seen this little one running around loose yet! Most "loose" dogs around here are picked up by animal control after the first escape! They are always on patrol keeping an eye out for the usual suspects! I've called animal control before, out of concern when I noticed an unfamiliar loose dog running up and down the road and into traffic and I was unable to catch him to check for tags and return him home. You could handle it that way...next time you see him running around, call and say you are concerned that there is a dog running in traffic and you're afraid he might get hit.... you think it lives near by, etc. That way, they will be made aware that this dogs run loose. The leash laws here are very strict! After the first warning come the summons...100.00 a pop! Most people re-think their decision to let their dogs run loose when it means coughing up that amount of $$$ You're a very caring and responsible person to be concerned for this dog. Thanks for helping him!! Let us know what you decide!
