Sissy is far from dangerous. For years as part of our family, Sissy has been a beacon of joy, care, and steadfast companionship. Born into our home, she has not bitten or attacked anyone, a fact supported by the American Veterinary Medical Association emphasizing that breed is a poor sole predictor of dog bites (source: AVMA).

Recently, Animal Services Director Jones declared Sissy "dangerous and vicious," tearing her away from her loving home. This unfounded declaration has had devastating impacts on our household, as she is not merely a pet but a cherished family member.

Data from centres such as the National Canine Research Council stresses the importance of context and individual behavior over breed generalization. The recall of this mistaken declaration is not only a personal plea but also an assertion of accurate animal behavior understanding. Lack of any incident or proof of Sissy being dangerous should suffice to rebuke the director's assertion.

We request understanding and consideration in reversing the decision about Sissy. It's time for Sissy to come home. Please sign this petition to overturn Director Jones' illegitimate declaration and reunite our family.
