Neighbors concerned about malnourished pets
Friday, May 4, 2012
Images of thin and bony dogs have neighbors in a Gadsden neighborhood fuming. One woman, who didn't want to be identified, said for the past ten years she's seen dogs at a home on a dead end street in Gadsden continue to look frail and sick. "The animals would be better off dead then just slowly starving to death up here," she said. "You can see dogs out here. They just get skinnier and skinnier." The Gadsden resident said the man who lives on the property continues to keep the dogs, but he is rarely home. Concerned for the dogs' health, the woman said, "It's a continuous turn around on dogs because they just starve and he replaces them and I don't know if it's a hoarding thing." Perry Gwin built a fence just to keep the dogs off his property. "I was trying to keep them off my porch. They was just hunting for something to eat," he said. Both neighbors contacted animal control and the Etowah County Sheriff's Office but haven't seen any action taken. "We and the other neighbors have called in so many times over the years and like I said nothing has ever been done yet," said the concerned neighbor. An officer with animal control is now waiting to get in contact with the owner of the dogs.
