 plays with the kids and small dogs. What happened, she don't know. Spencer is vaccinated.
 Registered and micro chipped.


 Mr. Harb said he is really sorry for what happened to Mr. Diaz's dog. If it was him, he would
 be angry too. Losing a pet is like losing a part of the family. Their dogs are a part of their
 family. He wanted to reach out and give their condolence. But, he didn't know if it was ok or
 not. He didn't want to go to Mr. Diaz's house and make him feel uncomfortable in any way.
 Spencer plays with other dogs, small and big. None of this has ever happened before. He
 dosen't know what happened. Why Spencer attacked Luna? Spencer is a gentle giant.

 in his kennel.

 he own it.


 Board Member Edwards explained the meaning of private way. He stated that a private way
 does not mean you own the street, it simply means the street is not paved. The contractor
 didn't spend the money to pave the street when they finished building the houses.


 Officer Robichaud asked Mr. Perez how tall is the kennel.


 Mr. Perez said it six (6) feet.


 Officer Robichaud asked if the kennel is cement based.

 entering her home with her small son. Two (2) dogs jumped on her causing scratches and
 abrasions, Ms. Reid went to the Hospital for medical treatments. Ms. Reid call the Police
 Department after returning from the Hospital. TJO Officers contacted the owner and it turns
 out there are at least five (5) dogs at the resident which is over the limit for the city. All five
 (5) dogs were placed on quarantine. It appears that none of the dogs are spayed or
 neutered. The city has a limit for intact animals of three (3) or if they are spayed or
 neutered the limit would be four (4), otherwise a kennel license would need to be acquired.
 This property would not meet the requirements for a kennel license within the city.

 she was able to get the dog off of her is when her fourteen (14) year old son pushed
 through the screen door, once the door opened she swung her four (4) year old inside the
 house and still being scratched and clawed. There is no dog sign up, she saw Kimberly on
 her camera saying to their neighbor sorry I know I am supposed to put up the dog sign, but
 I didn't put it up. Shadel said Kimberly blamed her autistic son for letting out all five (5)
 dogs. Shadel said from her understanding, kimberly was told the big dog has to leave, two
 (2) of the five (5) dogs has to leave and the dogs could not be off a leash if they are
 outside. On April 1st, her camera caught all five (5) of her dogs outside off leash with her
 husband. Shadel said her son is petrified of going outside because of to the dogs, he is
 scared. Shadel said Kimberly son threaten to kill her, and said he will crash out for his dog.


 Respondent
 Kimberly Toote said she was at work when Shadel texted her. She has the text message
 Shadel sent her, stating she was attacked by the dog and that she was going to the
 hospital. She didn't know what to say. Kimberly husband, John Serru says the reason why
 they have five (5) dogs is because when they bought the house, at the closing it says the
 property would be fully empty. Mr. Serru says their son was supposed to go downstairs with
 his two (2) dogs. Kimberly says they already got rid of one dog. Mr Serru says the reason
 why they didn't have the records was because they were in a bad move and was living in a
 a hotel for a month and a half. Kimberly says Polie and Silver are going to get their shots
 and get neuter. She spoke to TJO and she's in compliance with them. Mr. Serru said the
 reason why the dogs was out is because he goes to work at 4:00 in the morning and he let
 the dogs out before he goes to work every morning, it's routine for the dogs.


 Rebuttal
 Shadel Reid said she understand the dog is in a routine, but the dogs were outside off leash.
 Kimberly was not abiding by what TJO said. It was King that attacked her and she had open
 abrasions.


 Kimberly said Meeko and King are vaccinated. Her dogs jumped on people when they get
 excited. Kimberly said she did sign up for King and Polie to get fixed.


 Atty Shewchuk asked if all the dogs will be fixed.
