Leaving Town? Have Dogs?

Need to get out of town for a weekend or maybe longer but have pets that need tending?  An experienced dog sitter resides right here in the Tech Terrace neighborhood.  Dogs love Harriet Davis- a seventh grader at Hutch Middle School. She has support from her father whom dogs tolerate.

 If you want an alternative to boarding that will be less expensive and less hassle, give Harriet a call at 806-407-6481.

Dog Days Over At Tech Terrace Park

Tech Terrace Park became Lubbock's defacto dog park in 2011.  Every night around 6 or 7 the park would be filled with dogs running and frolicking.  This past Friday and Saturday, officers from the Lubbock Police Department and Animal Services were on hand to let dog owners know that it was not okay to let their dogs run free.  According to George Torres, head of Animal Services, the city had received several complaints over the past few months about untethered dogs chasing joggers and messes left behind.  Signs in the park clearly state all dogs must remain on a leash.

Loose Dogs

UNIT News received the following email from a concerned neighbor:

This morning I had a pretty big altercation with 2 dogs that were loose and tried to kill a neighbor's cat.  Seems like a reminder in blog form or even door to door fliers might be appropriate to remind neighbors to leash their dogs.

Loose dogs roaming the neighborhood have presented problems in the past.  If you see a stray dog call Animal Services by using the 311.

Keep tabs on your dogs

Our beloved dog, Bear, passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon.  The vet at the Small Animal Emergency Clinic (very kind folks) said she had enough toxins in her system to kill three dogs.  We are positive she did not get into anything in the backyard so it appears she was intentionally poisoned.  This would not be the first case of dog poisoning in the neighborhood.  Keep an eye on your beloved pets.

Please Clean Up After Your Dog at Roscoe Wilson, or anywhere else.

The greenspaces around Roscoe Wilson are popular with dog owners. Unfortunately,  some dogs are leaving evidence to be found by elementary feet.  Please refer to the attached letter that the City sent to residents in the vicinity of Roscoe Wilson.
