Terry Buford was sworn in for testimony. He said the dog was tethered to the wash room for his protection. He also said he did his own shots in South Carolina but didn't keep the papers.
Officer Gasparre said the city's main goal is to have compliance and protect the animal. The City can provide vouchers for getting his dog sterialized but if he didn't want to do that he still needed to get him registered and show proof of vaccination.
He said he didn't want to have him sterialized, the landlord won't let him build a pen; so he will get rid of the dog.
The Special Magistrate found violation(s) do exist and the violator(s) are ordered to pay the amount on the citation numbers as follows; unless the violation(s) are brought into compliance prior to the expiration date.
Citation #539 - $100.00 plus the AC Surcharge $5.00 for a total of $105.00. Payable in 30 days.
Citation #540 - $250.00 plus the AC Surcharge $5.00 for a total of $255.00. Payable in 30 days.

The total amount due is $465.00
Failure to pay the total amount prior to the expiration date(s) will result in the case being turned over to the St. Lucie County Court and an additional fee may be imposed.

Officer Gasparre stated that they have had numerous calls about the dogs and all 3 animal control officers have been dispatched there many times with the same issues. He has started with building a pen but it still needs a roof and a door. The City has offered help with the registration and rabies if he gets the dogs sterialized; but he doesn't want to do that.
Code Compliance Manager Arraiz informed him that if he was not going to get the dogs sterialized he would need separate pens as one is a male and one is a female and if kept together accidents do happen.
Calvin Tyrone Benjamin was sworn in. He said he fills the water bowls but the dogs turn it over. He started to build a pen but now he has to secure it. He has to have separate pens so there is no breeding. He does not want to get them fixed because he has heard that creates health problems. He said he would get the rabies at Tractor Supply and asked for additional time to get the registrations. City was agreeable to 30 days.
The Special Magistrate found a violation does exist and the violators are ordered to pay the amount on the citation number(s) listed as follows;
Citation #580 - $250.00 plus an AC surcharge of $5.00 for a total of $255.00.
Citation #581 - $100.00 plus an AC surcharge of $5.00 for a total of $105.00.
The total amount due within 30 days is $360.00 unless brought into compliance prior to the expiration date.
Failure to pay the total amount prior to the expiration date will result in the case being turned over to the St. Lucie County Court and an additional fee may be imposed.
