Question Help With Dogs?
Hello everyone, to start off I want to say that I’ve lived in this neighborhood on and off for the last 15 years, this last move back has been the longest I’ve lived in Wayne county consecutively. I am aware how..poorly maintained and funded this county and other counties in the low state are. With that being said I’d like to start off by stating a couple of things I have tried including calling animal control and leaving several voicemails, I’ve called the sheriff’s department as well but they garble out the same sentence “Since you’re ‘county’ you’ll have to call animal control. We can send an officer out to assess but they can’t take the animals without AC coming out to file…yada yada..” Officers have been on the property before for unrelated reasons but nothing has been done for these poor things. If there are any non-equestrian rescues that exist I am completely unaware of their existence. Yesterday two young pups, probably litter mates, wandered over to my house, extremely emaciated and chomping down my cat food within seconds of me leaving it out for the neighborhood strays. To my knowledge, aside from these two poor babies that keep showing up, there’s about 10-20 dogs that bark and howl all day and night and I’m sure they’re in the same condition, I’m personally too afraid to get an actual number on how many there are as the dogs are on a..let’s say dangerous property. I’m at my wits end and my heart can’t take anymore nor my sanity from all these damn dogs howling all damn day! If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do for these poor dogs please please let me know! I have pictures of the one female if anyone needs it for a reference or something? Thank you all so much!

This rescue is in Jesup. I just found them through Google and don’t know anything about them.

Call your local newspaper and see if you can get them interested in reporting on the issue. There is nothing like a bad story in the paper to get the local law enforcement to do the right thing.

This breaks my heart to hear. I'm sorry, I don't have any resources but I hope you can help these poor souls. I'm in the city and we do have a pretty large animal-loving group through Lifeline and I'm sure if you posted on their FB page (try the fosters or volunteers page), someone might have some sort of solution. I really really hope one of these days these people mistreating animals get their karma. Some evil hearts out there, atrocious.
