Call animal control? - Page 4

Alright guys, does anyone know where I can find a used dog cage? (One to catch a dog?)  I can't figure out who the owners are, and the dogs had been gone for a few days, but this morning they came back and wow! The white one with black was running back and forth incredibly fast, striking at the fence, barking, biting, etc.  The one's I thought had a bbgun......well, they actually don't.  I asked my brother, but his is broken.   I will never resort to using a real pistol obviously, but I need to catch this dog. Others I talked to on our road said animal control will not come out here.  Some of the cages to catch dogs I looked at online are a couple hundred dollars, I don't really care to get something I'd only use one time and pay a couple hundred dollars for it.  It ran through my grand fathers yard after it ran (their is a field inbetween) off this morning; All he has is a shot gun and a pistol, other wise he would have done something

I think it would be better to hit the owner's in the head with a Paint Ball Gun...

If you have a problem with a neighbor and/or their dogs...As you're doing any or all of the above mentioned I would certainly be keeping records of what and when you've done anything...Like When you talked to the owner...When you've seen the dogs doing what...and so on...Keep Records...You might need them in the future...

Q man, there's a problem though. I was told (by the owner's neighbor of the chocolate lab that attacked Buck) that that dog is not the same dog. They look identical.  My best guess is these two dogs running together are from the trailer park if that's the case, that's the only thing I can figure.  The trailer park is behind the field that is behind our yard.  The dogs do have collars on, I know that.  

hmm..what if you use car/lawn mover battery and use jump start clips by clipping them to your fence...just keep your dogs away from it but when that dog will bite your fence it should get a good jolt...
yes i know women are cruel and nasty...sorry..its in our nature..LOL...but it sounds like its either shoot them or teach them a good/memorable lesson...

I had the same issue, only the dogs were attacking my horses.

I trapped the dogs and took them to AC. They were euthanized after I told them they chased my horses. To be honest, I did not know this would happen. If I had known, I might not have said anything about my horses. As it is, there was a law in my county that dogs who chase livestock will get euthanized if they're turned into AC.

Anyhow, don't use a BB gun or paint gun! You will get slapped with animal cruelty charges if anyone sees it happen. Catch the dogs and take them to AC. Keep doing it and the owners will get sick of paying the fines and either a.) put up a fence b.) chain the dogs up or c.) let AC keep them. 

Have you checked Tractor Supply? I know I've seen them there, not sure how much they are though... Could try Craigslist too, but that's probably a long shot. Does Animal Control have one you could borrow?

Dawulf, I've tried Co-op, the humane society, a vet that I was told use to have traps and one of them did.  I haven't tried tractor supply yet, but their website did not have any that size.  I called animal control this morning, and they transferred me to a line, which was nothing but an answering machine.....I left a message on it, and no response back at all today.  I was told by the humane society if the animal control does not cooperate then to contact the sheriff's office.  I've known one of the sheriff's here for years so I'm going to see from him if they can trap the dog.    I have a dog kennel outside right now that is 5 feet wide/5 feet long......I thought about seeing if my buddy down the road could rig up some type of door for it that would shut when as soon as he stepped on something (same idea as a small animal trap);  Maybe a wood board that falls down like a door, or something.  I'm sure he could figure out something to do on it though that would work, and it would hold a dog that size.
