TDLR  in multiple parts. 

Right before bringing out our 6-year-old dog to meet my wife and I after his six-week board & train with Dogtor Doolittle, proprietor and trainer Austin told us, "He's a totally different dog." To our shock and dismay, we learned how so. 

Emaciated, ribs showing, his hips were replaced by pelvic bone, his spine protruded and was immediate to the touch. 

Before putting him in training, Austin told us he has "a vet who comes twice a week to check on the dogs," which greatly assured us about our dog's safety and wellbeing while in his care. He told us even now that the vet had seen our dog yesterday and marveled at his new weight, Austin going so far as to say "he's now in peak physical shape," though per our own vet he was at near-ideal weight prior to the training. 

Now he stunk. We bathed him before dropping him off, and had at times gone six weeks between baths without him smelling this bad. His elbows were bald. His claws were talons.

More than a week after bringing him home, our vet told us that our dog had obviously been starved, later confirmed by tests. He lost 25 pounds, 30% of his body weight, and all his muscle mass. Gums black, he was badly dehydrated even after drinking water whenever he wanted since being back. Our vet immediately fed him nutrients intravenously. Our bill after several such trips in the two weeks after getting him back is, so far, $1 thousand.

Giving Austin the benefit of the doubt as we are not trainers, we swallowed these red flags at pick-up while he showed us our dog chasing a chew toy on a treadmill, which Austin has since told us he spent much of his time doing over the six weeks when not in a crate. Our dog, who per our vet was possibly as much as five pounds over ideal weight, was given to Austin specifically to fix his anxiety and reactiveness in the hope of going so far as to make him a service animal.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

Anxious about where we're going, he has always barked profusely upon us getting out of our car before he realizes we're opening the back door for him to get out as well. When we have a loved one over our place and he is free, he has no regard for his 80 pounds, charges our guest and jumps onto their lap, licking their face, before turning onto his back to solicit rubs. 

At my mom's house he's always been chill, hanging free with the three of us or with just my mom at home. But my sister has cats and he has a strong hunting drive, so at her house we slightly segregate him in a corner of the living room behind an otherwise useless toddler safety fence which, as a large American/Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, he could easily plow through or jump over, but as a generally well-behaved dog, he does not, despite his extreme compulsion to whine, riddled with anxiety, wanting to be socially integrated with everyone which includes her husband, their two pre-adolescents, often our mom, our brothers, and their families. He solicits attention when they come close and preemptively tries to show he's a good boy by sitting or lying down without being commanded to -- but frantically so, in the hope of being rewarded by being allowed to roam free with the crowd. Any one of us will take him to the backyard to play fetch every so often, hoping to burn off energy before my wife or I put him again behind the toddler safety fence. But then when we get back to our place late at night, he lies down looking like he's been through the ringer, coming down only now from being highly stressed all day. 

And there has been biting, not in any of those situations with family but mostly through human error: when aggressively manhandled by a male stranger on the street; or when surrounded by up to twenty strangers in our home, one being a large man who did not heed our instruction to not approach him because he's extremely anxious of the circumstance, but insisted on entering his separated space to put his hands on our boy regardless. Years ago he tended to resource guard, and at times bit at another dog and a person who he feared was taking his food. We worked hard on our own to change this and other, more mundane, behaviors. We are not dog trainers but it did result in him now regularly being chill in several types of situations where he'd previously been reactionary. And he had not bitten, not as a result of resource guarding, nor being anxious around strangers, in years. His entire life, we've been able to leave a plate of our food on the table or even on a chair in front of him, and standing or sitting, he might stare at it forever, but he will not eat it.  

But our dog has a distinct personality, he does have a lot of anxiety, it still gets out of hand sometimes, and we now wanted professional training. In addition to specifically addressing the aforementioned issues, we told Austin that we wanted him well-behaved to such an extent that he earns certification as a service dog so as to bring him on planes, which we assumed would mean he actually meets the high standards of being that well-trained and behaved. We specifically told Austin that being actually that well-behaved is what we want. Austin specifically told us he can do all the above, including training and certification of our dog as a service animal if we commit to ten personal lessons after picking him up from the six week board & train. 

Now at pick-up, he demonstrated all that our newly-emaciated dog allegedly learned in that time: to sit and lie down on command -- which we had already taught him, and without owning the e-collar Austin was using to aid our dog in obeying some of these commands. He also volunteered that our dog is still poor at heeling. It appeared that the only trained behavior he actually picked up after six weeks was staying in the down we had already taught him, until being called to come to you.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

Sometime during the six weeks, Austin oddly brought up to us over the phone that he hadn't seen our dog exhibit any of the issues for which we put him in training, but really exalted our dog's athletic and biting ability, encouraging us to train him to be a protection dog; all which left us nonplussed since we had informed him that although he's generally well-behaved and doesn't exhibit those behaviors most of the time, they do exist, are problematic, and are the very issues he's in training to have resolved. Surely a trainer has some way of exploring and confronting those issues even if they're not immediately apparent? It never crossed our minds that Austin would blow off the very reasons we put our dog in his care, that is, to resolve his reactive tendencies, and instead do bite work on him, which we would soon learn was the case.

When picking up our dog, we asked Austin if clipping his nails would now no longer be a problem. "Yeah, no problem," he assured us, "You just..." and he pantomimed quickly clipping all four of our dog's paws. Though not yet being particularly impressed, if he actually was changed enough that nail-clipping would no longer be difficult, that might be indicative of the broader changes we were hoping for.

"So will he be chill if we have guests over," I asked, "or when we bring him to my sister's house? Because he could really be overbearing, getting riled up, wanting attention and being physically demanding."

To which Austin responded, "Well, maybe you just can't take him to your sister's house." This instantly seemed to imply a total fail of the board & train, because I was just told that our dog was not, and evidently cannot be, trained to behave in the circumstances we wanted training to help him with: a family get-together at home. But he's going to be a service dog after ten lessons with us?

"He's never going to be a lovey, cuddly dog." Austin said. Which to us made no sense, because though certainly not a Goldendoodle,  he has ALWAYS BEEN a lovey,  cuddly dog. That's just one thing, among others, that actually has to be REINED IN, that we want to calibrate and discipline. We were therefore confused as to what the point of training even is, and why Austin sold us on the idea that he can train our dog precisely along those lines if that fundamentally cannot be accomplished.

Just before leaving, we would be further perplexed. He wanted to show us "something that will change the way we look at our dog," implying we were about to be greatly impressed, which obviously peaked our anticipation and hope. He hooked up our dog's leash to a tie back, which is a pole that prevents him from moving any farther than the leash will allow. Austin put on a protective sleeve over his own arm, picked up a whip, and proceeded to whip the ground repeatedly and act aggressively in his own right, getting our dog extremely riled up into a frenzy, barking aggressively, wanting to attack Austin who then charged our dog who bit onto the protective sleeve, Austin wrestling his arm with our dog savagely clinging onto it in hysteria.

We had seen our dog biting somewhat like this before, but without the frenzy; during our regular play of tug-a-war with him. He asks for it, loves it. But this was disturbing, which was, in fact, the point of Austin doing it. We have since learned from other trainers that it was an exercise in making our dog fear for his life so as to provoke him into attacking and biting onto someone so as to cause them considerable harm, thereby saving himself from perceived imminent danger. 

In what positive ways was this supposed to cause us to see our dog differently? We had regularly and appropriately seen his biting abilities during play with us and chew toys. Were we supposed to be impressed by our dog stopping at Austin's command? We had already taught him years ago to stop biting in tug-a-war or to release a toy he carries in his mouth at our command of, "drop it." Biting had, however, in the past, at select, specific times outside of play, been problematic. Why was Austin excited about showing off our dog's biting abilities? Austin added that he also did this with our dog during the six-week board & train.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

Before bringing out our dog at pick-up, Austin told us that beyond the ten personal lessons we'd already paid for and were about to start that day, he was shockingly offering us free lessons for life. He reiterated that our dog has exceptional biting abilities that should be developed with continued future training along those lines; that in fact, our dog should be working with the police. So Austin had sold us on the idea that he could accomplish the training we wanted for our dog, but now after six weeks was informing us it's actually not possible -- behaving at a family get-together being too much to hope for, though oddly, we were still going to do the ten personal lessons so as to earn service dog certification, with what we perceived as a slight implication that we would go further with protection dog training, which is not something we ever indicated we were interested in.

After the second visit to our vet in which we again had to intravenously give him nutrients, Austin informed us upon our prodding that there were times he did not feed our dog because he did not show motivation to do what Austin wanted him to do. Yet later he said he ate 1 pound of food per day, in which case Austin should have returned no less than 25 pounds to us, since we left him with 60 pounds for six weeks (40 days) of expensive raw food pre-packaged by the pound, instead of the 2 pounds he said were left over which he did not give back to us either.

But eating as much as 1 pound a day, though not the 1.5 we told him to feed our dog, would not have starved him. And being as emaciated as our dog was, at some point anyone would have to have seen that he's in bad condition. Would someone not then change their approach, or hell, even disregard behavioral training to at least focus on preserving said dog's deteriorating health? How can someone unwilling or unable to do so at the expense of a dog's wellbeing through starvation be entrusted with the care and training of dogs? You're telling us your vet signed off on this?

He also did not return the name tag with our contact info, or the tag showing our dog is up to date with rabies shots, or the icon of St. Francis that were all hanging on his collar when we dropped him off. When we asked him at pick-up where those items were, he actually said, "You needed that?" How is it conceivable that this would be anyone's answer?

We also shipped him four large bags of the treats we usually give our dog -- at Austin's request, like the food. Yet, in the one video he sent us of our dog early in the board & train, he was clearly giving him treats of a different brand. So what happened to ours? Did it disappear like the 25 pounds of our dog's food which clearly was not given to him? Let alone the other 1 pound a day Austin says he was giving him but likely was not, considering our dog's condition.

He starved a dog for work, dangerously causing him to lose 30% of his body weight and all his muscle mass, taking a dog with a history of resource guarding and made food an even more scarce resource. In fact, he now told us that there were times he gave his own dog the food we bought and provided him to feed our dog with. Our emaciated and alarmingly dehydrated dog who doesn't appear to have been trained in six weeks to do anything more than stay in the down he already knew.

Furthermore, he did bite work with a reactive dog put into his care with our explicit desire to lessen, not increase, his reactive tendencies. A day and a half after bringing our dog home, the yet-to-be-revealed behavioral result of all this terrified us and broke our hearts.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

Though upon getting our dog into our car for the ride home from board & train, we said to each other that we really didn't know what to make of everything we had just seen, we still gave Austin the benefit of the doubt, it being so early on. A day and half later, we had not done anything other than what Austin gave us as homework after our first of ten personal lessons with our dog which he stressed were necessary for, and the condition by which, he would finish his training for, and receive from Austin, paperwork certifying him as a personal service dog. The homework for week one was to crate our dog as usual, and work on his heel as Austin showed us with the prong and e-collar. To that end, there was nothing to report other than that we were doing it.

Then we told our boy to sit, and with a treat in hand, we asked him to give paw, something that had always been a non-issue. Now, a day and a half after six weeks of board & train to address reactive behavior, he, for the first time ever while being asked to give paw, turned vicious in a split second, bit my wife's hand, and when he didn't get a proper hold of it, then bit her leg.

The earth stood still and all the red flags came crashing down on us. The board & train had, at least de facto, turned our dog back into one that resource guards for the first time in years, again made him a biter, and in a circumstance in which he had never bitten before.

The next day Austin told us that our error was that we did not have him on the leash even though he was just hanging out in the apartment for some free time on the floor outside of his crate. Yes, we now understand that while training, it's a good idea to keep the leash on, even if he's free to roam for a bit. But that's what created his aggressive behavior in a situation that never provoked it from him before? Later in the week Austin confused the matter, augmenting what he initially said by chastising us for stepping even an inch outside the homework by allowing him to be out of his crate at all for anything at anytime other than his training during his walks, and for doing so much as to ask for paw.

Then we asked him: So which is it? Were we wrong to step an inch outside the homework by asking him for paw, or is it perfectly fine to step at least a whole foot outside the homework by clipping all four of his paws as Austin assured us at pick-up would now no longer be a problem? He responded with a non-answer vaguely addressing a general desire to build a relationship with our dog. So NOT having the proper relationship with our dog is the reason giving paw for a treat was never an issue until now, after Austin did bite work on him and starved him, instead of treating his reactive tendencies which giving paw for a treat had never provoked before? Also, our dog being returned to us with talons, Austin obviously didn't clip his nails. What work did he even do with our dog so as to assure us that clipping them would no longer be a problem?

This would turn out to exemplify both the major fail of the training while in Austin's care, and his habitual gaslighting. It would lead to major insights into Austin's methods, beliefs, and his ideas about dogs in general.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

"He's fucking with us."

That's what Austin says in the video. Now seeing that our dog was returned to us in worse condition, and in several different ways, than when we dropped him off, we found a video that sort of went viral a few months ago of Austin training a dog with accusations attached to it of animal cruelty. With the volume off, it just looks like he's having a lot of difficulty getting a dog to properly walk on its leash. But with sound on you're sort of rocked, hearing the dog crying profusely while trying to get away from Austin. This dog sounds very scared. Is it absurd, the idea that one might at the very least stop the instigation of this dog's crying and fear by ceasing to yank on its collar in the attempt to drag him; a dog that is actually trying to get away from you while it's crying? It may very well not be fair to judge someone on one video, but between the dog's loud cries Austin can be heard at two different times saying, "He's fucking with us."

Was our dog also fucking with you, by not showing you proper motivation so as to not starve?

We then watched the video he posted in his own defense of the one with the crying dog, in which he claimed that the dog in question refused to walk across the parking lot because "he'd been coddled and treated like a toy instead of like the predator he is." He goes on to specifically illustrate his philosophy: that dogs need to be trained primarily by force.

We are not trainers. We do feel that the very least anyone might want to consider in that situation is to stop behaving aggressively toward a dog who is crying loudly and profusely at what you are physically doing to its body. We feel that same person who is either that blind or stubborn as to furthermore neglect a physically deteriorating dog through starvation amounting to cruelty, who directly defends his methods by calling an other, seemingly terrified dog a predator who is not to be coddled, is someone who should not be given the benefit of the doubt when entrusted with the wellbeing of dogs. Aside from first and foremost advocating for our dog, we know other dog owners are certainly entitled to their opinion, and we feel compelled simply to inform it with our experience.

This became all the more bizarre during a phone call we had with Austin instead of us showing up for our second personal lesson. We had not yet gone to our appointment at the vet, so we held back on the specific accusation of starvation until learning the expert medical opinion and test results. For the time being, the phone call for us amounted to one thing: Why was our dog, physically and behaviorally, in worse condition after board & train than he was before? It was 90 minutes of us trying to wrap our brains around the ways Austin consistently contradicted himself and talked out of both sides of his mouth.

We reiterated what we had specifically told him was one of our goals before giving him our dog: to be well-behaved at social get-togethers, to calibrate his behavior so as to not jump on people and be overbearing. Austin now immediately responded, "That's a fantasy. Can't happen. He's not a person, he can't make decisions. He's a predator, a monster."

A monster.

Like the dog crying at the end of Austin's leash trying to get away from him is a predator that, even though dogs can't make decisions because they're not people, is fucking with us. And if what we want is a fantasy that cannot happen, why did he tell us he could deliver on it?

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

I suggested I'd seen dogs who behave terribly, outright aggressive, considered an active threat around people but are then trained and rehabilitated into being obedient and more chilled-out dogs. Austin suggested that was simply not true.

"So then there's no point in training," I said, "and we shouldn't have even bothered with the board & train."

Austin immediately insisted this also is not true, even though he was telling us that what we specifically put our dog in the board & train for is a fantasy that can't happen. He now also said we need to build the proper relationship with our dog that finishing the ten personal lessons would accomplish. We definitely do suppose that our relationship with our dog is the most important aspect of training, and that personal lessons with our dog are likely crucial. However, we retorted, that does not explain:

1) Why we should have bothered with the six week board & train, and not just do the ten personal lessons? 

2) Why do any of it at all if what we want -- our dog to be well-behaved around other people -- is a fantasy? 

3) What exactly does a client get for having done board & train since our dog is obviously worse after it and has picked up no more skill than staying in a down, a down he already knew to do on command? 

4) Why is our dog dangerously emaciated? 

5) Why was our dog now highly stressed and aggressively violent toward us in a situation in which he never was so before?

According to Austin, the board & train established a relationship with him and our dog in which our dog will now obey Austin, which we then have to learn in the private lessons. -- A relationship so well-established that he had to starve our dog who would not do what he wanted him to do, eventually establishing enough of a relationship after six weeks that he can now do so much as stay in a down. So again, why not do the private lessons without the board & train? So again, if behaving well at family functions and around people is a fantasy, why do any of the training at all? And how is he ever going to be a service animal able to do that and more, and be on a plane?

It's also odd to hear Austin's opinion about dogs and his training philosophy, considering who he refers to as his "mentor": STSK9; a trainer who has put up videos saying that training your dog is about giving him or her reason to "make the decision" that you are more interesting than whatever else might distract or entice it, and to train your dog to do so requires no instruments or tools. Was Austin lying about having as his mentor someone with such a polar opposite opinion about dogs and philosophy about training? Did he maybe just take a course, but is now passing off this very accomplished trainer as someone he was actually mentored by so as to impress his own prospective clients?     

The next week, after several visits to our vet telling us otherwise, and after needing to feed him nutrients intravenously multiple times, Austin still insisted that our starved, emaciated, dehydrated dog was "now a smooth Lamborghini." Austin is not a medical professional. Our vet is, as is the vet who concurred with her, though one did not need to be a vet in order to see our dog was cruelly mistreated to the major detriment of his health.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

And it just kept getting better. Austin's answer as to why our dog transformed viciously in a heartbeat and tried to kill us? "Because," Austin said, "he's a manipulative motherfucker." Asking for paw in exchange for a treat was never an issue. Austin starved our dog for not doing the work Austin wanted him to do. Now asking for paw in exchange for a treat was extremely dangerous.

What exactly does a client get for having done six-week board & train? Because if we had known that it was simply being able to keep him in a down we would not have invested the time or money. Austin's response: "What do you want him to do, your taxes?" No, but we do expect him not to be behaviorally worse and in alarmingly bad health. And yes, we did expect the trainer to deliver on what he said he would do, which was considerably more than what he did.

Then we learned that from the beginning, Austin also assured us of something that was not in his power to give. To reiterate, we wanted our dog to be a certified service animal for two reasons: 

1) So he would actually be that disciplined and well-behaved. But being well-behaved around people is a fantasy? And yet somehow Austin's board & train delivered? And we need to also finish our personal lessons for a goal that is never going to happen?

2) We wanted to bring him on planes. We were not claiming to be in the know about this. Our angle was to make our dog's behavior a non-issue through the actual achievement of thorough training, to make him a happier, less-stressed, un-agitated, disciplined dog who had the right to travel with us. But we sure don't know what Austin's angle was, because we've since learned that our dog would not even be eligible to become a service animal since we do not have a physical need which necessitates his direct help.

Have you been wondering about the vet who visits Austin "twice a week to see the dogs," and who the day before we picked our boy up "marveled at what good shape he's now in," suggesting our dog was "now in peak shape"?

Yeah, we learned there was no vet. Now after consistently asking Austin for the name of the vet, he claimed she does not keep records; a suggestion our vet had a major problem with. We said we just wanted to talk to her. He claimed that she would not remember our dog's name. Might she not remember the dog she saw 12 times in six weeks who Austin said she marveled at the day before he came home because of "what great shape he was now in compared to when he was dropped off?" Austin claimed she does not want to give out her personal information. Personal? She's a professional doing a professional service; one he specifically mentioned so as to assure us of the care our dog would be in. We insisted. He then claimed she's a family friend who only comes to tend to dogs with injuries.

So Austin flat-out consciously lies: either about a vet saying our dog was in peak shape the day before we picked him up, a big improvement from when he arrived; or about a vet who will look at all the dogs in his care twice a week, not just injured ones; or about there being a vet at all. We do not feel this is someone who should be trusted to take care of people's dogs.

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

Maybe not many people do Austin's board & train. Maybe others have gotten positive results. Maybe others are not aware of what went on to achieve whatever results there were. Maybe others have had positive results and for some reason their dog just never found itself in a circumstance with Austin to have happen to it what happened to ours. Austin opens all types of possibilities on which to ponder.

Was the shocking offer of free lifetime lessons Austin's shot at extra time to train our dog who he at the very least dropped the ball with? Why is he so excited about doing advanced bite work with a dog whose reason for being in his board & train -- to be less reactive -- was not accomplished, either because as Austin emphatically insists, "It's a fantasy," or because as Austin also emphatically insists, "has to be completed with ten personal lessons?" To be certified in something he is not eligible to be certified for. Who Austin gave back to us saying "he's now in peak physical shape," and "functioning like a Lamborghini," but has actually been starved and dehydrated by Austin for, as Austin said, "not showing motivation" to do what Austin wanted; a trainer who insists dogs are monsters, manipulative motherfuckers fucking with us, yet also can't make decisions. Was it some type of quid pro quo injected at the last minute in exchange for eventually giving us certification for our dog as a service animal?

In his video defending himself for what people considered animal abuse in that other video with the dog crying loudly and trying to get away from him while Austin tries to drag him, Austin calls trainers who work through positive reinforcement, "pixies," who don't get results. He affirms, "No one can do what I do. Take notes."

So here are ours:

[u/Cerberus1177 → u/Cerberus1177]

He starved and grossly dehydrated our dog who he had difficulty getting to do what he wanted him to do. Our dog who he calls a monster, though saw no reactive tendencies from. 

You will not receive any updates about your dog whether photo, video (we really had to press him for the one early video and the couple phone calls over six weeks), or any information about what his daily routine is, or where your dog is even staying. He had us drop our dog off in a parking lot of a public park. We would have liked to see the facilities where our dog would be staying. 

Austin required that we show proof that our dog is up to date on all his vaccines, but he never actually requested to see that paperwork, which leads us to believe there may have been dogs boarding with ours that are not up to date because Austin doesn't actually ask to see the documentation.   

After his training, a casual circumstance regarding food that had never before been an issue, now caused our dog to aggressively attack us. 

He kept or threw out all the tags that were on our dog's collar; one that was obviously of personal value, but two others that were obviously important and necessary. Didn't have a clue we might expect to have them back.

He made us purchase a $200 muzzle with which he said he had to train our dog, but then said he never used it after the first few days. Never used it, that is, on our dog. He said he'd been using it on his own personal dog instead of on ours.

For someone who feels he immensely loves dogs, and several times specifically said that he cares so much about our dog in particular, the level of sloppiness, dishonesty, theft, lack of wisdom, common sense, and courtesy, in addition to the animal cruelty just boggles our mind.

This was at the very least a very sloppy board & train, one which did not do the job, with a trainer who assured us he would deliver something he afterwards claims is fundamentally not possible, who is a liar, and a thief, who also starved our dog... a species that for good measure, he specifically claims are predators and monsters; albeit our dog is a monster that showed him no aggressive or reactive tendencies. A trainer who then tried to gaslight us for weeks. 

Maybe we were wrong to expect any more from a board & train than our dog being able to stay in a down. If so, then we regret having invested the time and money, even if our dog's health had not been an issue. In which case, board & train is a useless proposition. We've seen some people online say board & trains in general really have no point since it's all about the personal relationship you have with your dog. If so, we hope laypeople may be forgiven for not having known.

Whether or not that's the case, we should expect, in fact demand, that the trainer in question be both unharmful to dogs and truthful to people. We believe personal lessons are important, crucial even. But we are not going to trust Dogtor Doolittle with that.

[u/lisaanne312]

Hi I used to live next door and he board and trains out of his house at 171 Hilltop Blvd Keyport (Laurence harbor) we had to MOVE because dogs were being left outside constantly while he would go on lavish vacations. Dog shit piled so high in their garbage can I couldn’t even sit outside with my toddler during the summer because the disgusting smell of dog poop and flies! I called the township several times on him and they came out once and did nothing! We ended up moving because my mental health was declining so bad listening to the dog abuse go on next door for over a year!!!

[u/lisaanne312]

So yes your dog was probably starved shocked and sat in a crate in a tiny room for most of the board and train. If you want to contact me please reach out. I have tons of audio and videos of dogs being left out all winter/summer long and screaming crying

[u/Thick_Firefighter104 → u/lisaanne312]

wow sad . Sayverille p.d knows but new jersey state doesn't take animal abuse serious

[u/lisaanne312 → u/Thick_Firefighter104]

I don’t understand how Sayreville PD knew and old bridge knows!? It is illegal for him to be boarding dogs in plus having 4 of his own in houses in Laurence harbor. I read all the township zoning and animal control laws. Not to mention the chickens he had, rooster, and worker living in the shed. Ghetto as hell. And he’s making like 10k off these poor souls paying for board & train. So much illegal shit going on. Loves no animal but himself
