A common call that we get throughout the year, and especially in the warmer and nicer months, is animal complaints. These can vary from dog or cat complaints with pets on neighbor’s land or yards to cattle or horses out of fences and in neighbor’s yards or fields doing damage or eating crops.
We were recently asked to address dog complaints specifically dogs on neighbor’s property and trespassing issues. While most of these issues can be addressed with common courtesy and communication with neighbors or those affected, we understand that is not always the case. If you are concerned about the welfare of a domestic animal or livestock, please report it. If you have an animal issue with your neighbor, we ask that you try and talk with your neighbor first. If that does not work, then we are available to assist and mediate.
