Animal Shelter
On Saturday 05.23.2020, I picked up a 22 week old puppy from the Animal Shelter. The only thing I was told about the puppy during the vetting process was that she was skiddish and that I needed to be patient with her. Last night the puppy urinated blood. I called the shelter today and it was disclosed that the puppy was treated for a UTI. I only was told of this after I disclosed the dog was urinating blood. AS consumers we are depending on the shelter to disclose potential issues. It is unfortunate they do not. I am out of 200.00 plus dollars on a dog that I likely would not have taken if I knew all of the circumstances. Due to the circumstances I have requested that the shelter come pick her up. Unfortunately, they are unwilling to do so.
There's a very aggressive red-winged blackbird along the trail at Miller-Showers Park across from the Pepsi trucks and First Insurance Group. This is the third year in a row that such a bird has disrupted this part of the trail. I saw a red-winged blackbird attack other folks as well at this same place last year. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done, but I wanted to make sure the Parks Department was aware in case there is.
We have a neighbor that lets its dog at at 8a and keeps it out for most of the day. The dog barks constantly. What is my recourse?
Dead raccoon in middle of road in front of 4120 E 10th Street, for clean up due to warm temperatures resulting in excessive smell and being driven over.
Dead squirrel at the base of the Arden Place sign at the location indicated on the map. Squirrel appears to be roadkill that was moved right next to the side of the road under the Arden Place sign. There are many children and dogs walking in the area so it would be much appreciated if the dead squirrel could be removed.
This evening, 6/22/20, approximately 7:30pm, my wife, 9 yr old aughter and I were walking on the streets in our neighborhood (Grandview), when an off leash pit bull charged and tried to attack our 10 month old English Springer. The pit bull was , again, off leash and it’s owner did not have any control of this animal. Somehow, the pit bull kept narrowly missing in its attack of our puppy but knocked me down during the melee. This could have had bad outcomes. Our other dog, a 4-yr old female Springer, was also walking with us, not to mention my daughter and wife. I and my family were quite shaken up. I’d like Animal Control to talk to the pit bull owner. Their address is 3620 E Grandview Dr, Bloomington 47408. Being attacked on the street is dangerous. That dog should not be off leash and able to charge at people and their dogs on public streets. We have an older population in our neighborhood. Only by grace did my dogs and family not get hurt.
Resident feeds corn and other food to deer, etc. Attracts rats who live in brush pile in back yard around a tree. Neighbor at 1712 S. Sycamore stated that compliance officer could come into their yard and try to view property at 1711 S. Greenfield.
We continue to have 2 unleashed dogs in our neighborhood....tired of cleaning up dog poo. The golden retriever is a nice dog but I’m not sure about the pit bull mix.
