On the Loose! D.O.T.L.! Dogs! A Message to the residents of Fairfield!

nce again, as in the past, Dogs On The Loose has become a hot topic on the Fairfield Discussion Facebook page. People have become frustrated and say things they

don’t really mean, out of frustration because they have to deal with stray dogs. As a dog owner myself, I feel it is my responsibility to keep our dogs in our yard where they belong. Do they get out? Yes…the kids leave the gate open, and one dog can jump the fence, so sometimes it’s a challenge. While the jumper is a very friendly dog to most, people might not see her that way. I’m sure some might see her as a threat or a nuisance, and rightfully so. We do our best to chase her down and bring her back home. Having said that, there is a handful of dogs who roam the town day after day for hours on end, and this has created a problem for those who enjoy walking their dogs (most on a leash) and encounter the ones that are running loose. Also, these free-roamers knock over garbage cans, poop on other people’s property and attack the neighborhood cats and dogs. As some of you are aware, I serve on the City Council and this issue has been brought to our attention from concerned and/or angry residents. The city does have an ordinance in place for stray dogs. So why doesn’t the city enforce it? They can, by several means: 1. Through a signed complaint by a concerned citizen, the city engineer, or law

enforcement.

2. The deputies can pay the dog owner a visit and issue a warning or a citation. Our deputies have had the pleasure of visiting with a handful of dog owners, but nothing seems to change. I don’t believe that issuing a citation and levying fines is an avenue we want to go down, but it is an option.

3. Being a responsible dog owner, which means keeping your dog in your yard and going after them when they get out.

It’s not an easy task sometimes – our dogs listen about as well as our kids do. Being civil with one another is best in our small town – let’s help each other out to be the responsible dog owners that we need to be. Thanks! –– Doug Hoskinson, Fairfield ❦
