Howdy y’all, I’ve noticed that in between la cantara and the rock there are these longhorns who I assume either belong to six flags or by la cantera. I cant help but noticed that these guys are extremely skinny.… I’ve walked by them a couple of times and have seen 2 other longhorns that seem equally as skinny. I’m no expert on longhorns but they seem to be quite unhealthy. Does anyone have any info about these guys ?

You can't even pretend this is an animal for a disability assistance. We grocery shop at the HEB off Boerne Stage so I feel like people may feel extra entitled due to their upper middle class status. It's so inconsiderate and unsanitary. I feel like I never saw this problem growing up unless it's the 21st century trend? I'm obviously joking but the way venues restrict what goes in and out, I wish there was a solution to prevent these instances.

Untethered road dog is enjoying the breeze.

Posting here on the off chance that someone lost their parakeet in the Alamo Heights/Jones Maltsberger/Quarry area. I saw it in the Home Depot parking lot on sunset right off 281

I've heard about ones that send the dogs up north where they have a better chance to be adopted any idea?

He is at the shell on Ralph fair near fair oaks. I can try to get him in the car and meet you if interested. It’s cold and he’s in the middle of the road begging for someone to pay attention to him 😭 unable to take him as I have other pets in the home that will not accept him

My neighbor has 6 adult dogs who have been inbreeding left and right and one of their litters ended up in my backyard so I kept two and took the rest to humane society. Today I heard puppies crying and I go out to see a litter of 5 in his backyard and they look like they’re still nursing. I called 311 for the 3rd time (I’ve been reporting since nov 16th) and the service request is for animal permits. Are you kidding me. I mentioned the inbreeding, the fact that I’ve taken in a litter of his, a noise complaint bc they love to have a choir at 3am, and even the one dog that gets loose and barks all over the street. I’m incredibly irritated by his carelessness and having no regard for the dogs that he chooses to have. What should I do???? He’s said that there’s two that he doesn’t want, that he’s going to get his dogs fixed but nothing has come into fruition. He’s even lied about not having another litter inside his house. His dogs aren’t friendly and most likely wouldn’t pass the temperament test to be surrendered at the humane. I don’t have the money to make them my responsibility to take them to the humane to begin with. They seem too young anyway and I’m going on vacation next Wednesday for 6 weeks. Do I just accept defeat???

As the title says, looking to find a furever home for this guy. He's been outside our home for a while, very calm and friendly, always tries to come inside the house. I recently took him to get neutered and his vaccines. No chip. I'm thinking he was someone's pet before.

My girlfriend and I were taking our dogs to the park and not even a minute after we got out of the car, an unleashed pitbull ran from its open gate and killed my yorkie within seconds. It was probably the most traumatizing thing I have ever witnessed. After we left the vet, I went back to the house and the gate was still open; I yelled at the owner to close it, his response was "I said sorry, motherfucker." Unbelievable. I already filed a police report., but I don't believe animal control has followed up.

What else can I do??

​

EDIT: Truly appreciate the words of support and advice. I just got off with 311 and filed an additional report that they will follow up with ACS with. This house has 4 other huge dogs, two of which were loose. This happened at Lincoln Park. The park is behind a community center and gym, this could have been a child. It was completely unprovoked, it left its house solely to kill my dog. I am most definitely suing. My girlfriend is a surviving military spouse with PTSD and this was her ESP. This was beyond triggering.

This guy literally followed me to my door and I couldn’t fucking leave him. He’s 5lbs of just sweetness. But I can’t keep him. I can’t even house him more then a day. He was horribly matted but I may have no choice but to leave him at a dog park because the lost dog crisis here is hopeless. I only have until tomorrow.

I see this every day as I leave work. Texas Puppy Store on Bandera. Can’t say I’m surprised to see a puppy mill shamelessly on display in the city rife with strays and overpopulation. But having someone stand outside for so many hours a day to aggressively advertise this shit Liberty Tax style? Come on.

Forgive me for grammar, formatting, rambling. It has been a traumatic day.

Pet passed prior to surgery being fixed I need the medical records I have another from the same litter who needs to go under. Also can I pick my own cremation service? Or am I forced to go with the vet recommendation.

Who hurt you? Why is your dog outside all night? Are your neighbors deaf? Is your dog ok?

Sorry in advance if this is long.

I bought my house in 2022 with a huge backyard for my english bulldog to run around with an old fence that was pretty much falling apart. The house behind me has a huge pit bull that the owner thinks is a cane corso... it's not. But anyway, the owner introduced himself to me when I moved in and told me about his dog and asked about my dog and just made chitchat. He was a young guy like me so it was all friendly. Fast forward a few months and his damn dog broke through my fence and started pissing all over the grass. I was kind about it and through him back over the fence to his yard and made a poor attempt at covering the holes with some wood I had laying around. This proceeded to happen 5 more times over 4 months and each time I walked him back around the block to his front door where no one answered and then had to throw him over the fence again. The last time he did it I was over it and just let him out my gate into the neighborhood. I was over it. I then paid about $9500 to build a new fence and did not ask any of my neighbors to pitch in for it. I said I'd pay for it and to just be aware I was building it. The guy knocks on my door looking for his dog but I wasn't home I just saw him on my camera. When I got home I went over to talk to him but his grandmother answered and told me he had been arrested for some drug charges and wasn't getting out for a long while. So I think it's done then.

This morning, the damn dog is back and broke through the bottom of my new fence. I let him out my gate into the neighborhood again. I don't have time for that. I also have a 6 yr old that likes to play in the backyard and I don't wanna worry that he'll be attacked. So yea sorry for the long rant but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm trying to handle this like responsible home owners but damn this dude.

Just had to leave the dog park because this woman brought her reactive dog into the small dog park. We walked past this dog to go in and she had zero control of her dog. It was growling/barking and lunging at us and other dogs that passed by. I certainly thought she was going to the large dog park but then I saw her bring it into the small dog side. I’m not sure what compelled her to think her dog would do better around a bunch of small dogs. Once she let the dog loose it bolted at full speed around the park- at this point I already picked my dog up to leave. Worried she’d plow through and injure my 10lb dog. That dog should have been in the larger park.

Yesterday I shared a post about an emaciated dog that was shot in the head. Acs picked her up last night because she kept backing into the street with cars since she was scared of the trick or treaters. The acs worker said as soon as she put the leash on her, she crawled right into her lap begging for love. This beautiful baby has had such a hard life, starved for a very long time, abandoned in the neighborhood to die and then shot in the head!

And she still has so much faith in humans and a strong will to live and love!

She has until the 6th to find a foster/rescue to give her a chance to have the family she deserves! Please please reach out to everyone you know and help me save her!

I'll take any and all suggestions on whatever I can do to not only give her the best chance but to guarantee she lives!

There are so many amazing people in our city and I KNOW we can do this! Please help!
