November 2, 2017 another bite report for dog on dog. These dogs were Ms. Smith's and Mr. Shell's. The dogs had to be declared dangerous as there were two incidents in a year. Ms. Smith is appealing this decision.
Timothy Bie was sworn in. He said his 5 year old 60 lb. Pointer (service dog) was on leash out for a walk. Two dogs approached him and tackled his dog. They tried to separate the dogs but his dog did get wounded. Vet bill was between $800 and $900.
Robert Shell was sworn in. He said he was walking his 10 year old 25 lb. Westie by Archie's. He saw the dogs coming after them and tried to get control but they got attacked. Holy Family did surgery. The bill was $1,900.
Ms. Smith's dogs were also hurt and were taken to the Humane Society. She took them to the vet and while there got the rabies shot for one of them but not the female as there was another dog fight.
Code Compliance Manager Peggy Arraiz quoted the ordinance stating if more than 1 attack, the dog must be declared dangerous. Ms. Smith has been cooperative and has complied with all requirements and has paid the vet bills.
Tracy Smith was sworn in. She said she had just moved here and left when the hurricane was approaching. When she returned she didn't know the fence had been damaged. When she let the dogs out they got loose. Animal control was called when they attacked Mr. Shell's dog. They were taken to the Humane Society. When Ms. Smith arrived at the Humane Society she found her dogs had been injured. She took them to the vet. This is when she got the rabies for the male. The female did not get the rabies as there was another fight.
She did not pay both vet bills as she had not heard from Mr. Bie. She said other dogs have been running loose also. The reason for her appeal is she doesn't know what to do. Officer Nelson said the door being left open is also an issue.
Charity Kidd was sworn in. She was there as a character witness for Ms. Smith. She said the dogs are good with people.
Sharon Kalish was sworn in. She is the manager of the duplex and they have a good relationship with the tenants and knows the dogs. She didn't know about the attacks. She received notice that the door knobs weren't working properly. They were replaced within two weeks. She had no comment from Ms. Smith that there was a problem with her door and considered the landlord issue answered. She said the handyman fixed the fence and the gate.
Special Magistrate Ross read the description of a dangerous dog. She said Ms. Smith has complied to everything but the running at large. There is sufficient evidence to declare each dog dangerous.
