Detroit animal control asks residents to watch stay animals
Detroit Animal Care and Control has been apparently asking residents to watch stray animals because it is over capacity.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - When a teen called Detroit Animal Care and Control about a stray dog in her neighborhood, the animal control officer apparently asked her family to keep the dog in their backyard and did not tell them when they may be back to get it. Apparently animal control responded and secured the dog but said they couldn t take the dog because the shelter was full, said Theresa Sumpter, with Detroit Pit Crew. We don t know the temperament of that dog – if it s scared, if it might hurt someone.
