please help to stop the killing of these two innocent dogs

The Issue

  1. Dogs exposed in back of a city van
     

Paula Fancey, who owns the dogs — named Mr. Satan and Lexus — said she cannot afford to board them in isolation for the recommended three-to-six months to ensure they are free of rabies.

 

"I still think the city should pay for boarding," Fancey said, adding that she and her daughter received rabies shots over the weekend. "Otherwise I will have to put them down."

 

Lamanes confirmed that the dogs and their owners have both gotten rabies shots. She would not, however, say if the city paid for them. "That's confidential information and I can't comment further," she said.

 

Last Wednesday, an animal services officer picked up the dogs after they escaped their yard and placed them in cages in a van with a sick raccoon.

 

Somehow the raccoon and one of the dogs got loose from their cages and fought in the van, leading to injuries for both dogs. The raccoon was later euthanized and tested positive for rabies while the unvaccinated dogs were exposed to the virus due to the brawl.

 

The city says it's reviewing its protocols, namely the security of cages in its vehicles and whether wildlife should be transported in the same vans as domestic animals.
