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.

Is it possible for someone to check out this property for animal abuse? I just walked by today (via the alley) and they seem to have a lot of growlings dogs in cages that were covered with blankets.

There is a skunk living under the porches of the homes at 3000 Lakewood Ct (vacant home) and 504 E Lakewood Dr. (home for sale). My dog was sprayed by it this evening. We see it out walking around early in the mornings and in the evenings.

From Elm Heights listserve emails: The dog you are describing belongs to the people in the red house there on Southdowns in the block between Manor and Hawthorne. I saw the woman let the dog out, which she does every day. Then it runs all over the neighborhood, stops traffic, interferes with and barks at other dogs, and craps wherever it wants. I called animal control, but she took it in before they got there. A bad situation for the dog and all the rest of us. Debbie Collins A fairly calm older dog that seems to be part German Shepherd (but ears were not upright) is wandering around on Southdowns now (I saw her at 8:10 a.m.), 1200 block approx., a female I think. It's wearing an old cloth collar but no tags. I didn't get a photo, and a dog walker seems to have called someone (shelter? vet?), may have gone back looking for her after taking his own dog home. I didn't have a leash and couldn't capture her, and this other walker may have done so, but in case he doesn't notify the ListServe, I'm letting folks know...the dog was calmly exploring lawns, went into some of the dead-ends off Southdowns... -- Beau Vallance
