However, the homeless residents who own the dogs have refused the community’s offer as they continue to sell the pups for as high as $300 each.She adds the situation has exploded, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We don’t want to alienate the people, but the existing laws are not being enforced by Animal Services," Naff said. Naff echoes volunteers we’ve talked to, who say if you don’t stop the breeding, you can’t stop the excess of abused animals that would end up in already overcrowded shelters. The videos on the petition have been sent to Animal Services, who we reached out to, along with the Mayor’s office."We take any allegation of animal abuse and breeding very seriously. Animal services is actively investigating this complaint, and myself and officers have been dispatched multiple times since this complaint was lodged. We will continue to act and investigate as necessary to ensure the safety of all dogs across the city.
You can see the petition, and if you want to reach out to the organizations we spoke to, they say they could use the help. Donations are critical for their work.
