Hi, Every year our block has 1-3 fawns born and the mother deer are protective for about 3 weeks, and especially aggressive towards dogs. At the very end of the birth cycle last spring 2024, the city put a couple signs up to warn the dog walkers off our block. That would be wonderful to have again this year - our first 2025 fawn must’ve been born today in the backyard of mine (808) or my neighbor’s (810) backyard on S Fess. If we could please have 2 signs for the next month or so to post out front at the ends of the block, that would be very helpful. Some folks know the drill and move back quickly and others take less effective approaches that endanger themselves and their dogs. Thanks! MaryAnn

I would like to report one of my roommates for animal neglect. She has two cats (one of whom seems to have lung issues as she sporadically excessively coughs), and she keeps both of them in a small bedroom 24/7. She also consistently (almost daily) smokes in the room with the door closed, leaving a fragrant stench in the surrounding hallway and area. The cats often meow at the door and put their paws under. She is not hitting them or not feeding them (though I have had to feed them in the past due to her being gone for days and then having none — she also uses only one small food bowl for both cats). I live at 520 W Hoosier Court Ave. The roommate's name is Aydryan Vanderbur (spelling of last name may be slightly off). I am unsure if you guys can do anything about this or if there is a better way to go about it, but it is heartbreaking to live with. We do not get along due to this issue, so I do not let them out when she isn't home due to not wanting to exacerbate our living situation. She also is consistently gone from the home, and she does not keep her blinds for the 1 window in the room open. I feel very sad and concerned for the cats and am really hoping to get them cared for in some way. She will be moving out of 520 by July 31, 2025.

A resident named Sam Maurer who lives in Poolside Apartments has a dog who he does not properly take care of. I am not sure of the dog breed but it is a medium/large sized dog. Whenever I have been over to his apartment, the dog (named Mister) pees on the floor because his owner does not take him for walks. When Sam sees that mister has to pee, he puts him in the shower instead of taking him out for walks. It breaks my heart to see a man who can’t even take care of himself own a dog. As mutual friend of Sam’s, I was only around Mister a handful of times, the rest of the information I know about how is treated is from his best friend.

Black dog "Dexter" frequently loose in neighbor's yards. Newer dog (very small breed/puppy?) named... butter? left outside for 4+ hours at a time and barks constantly while left outside. Please, these folks need to contain their animals and provide better care for them
