Ruby Burton, leader of the local Humane Society, spoke to the Monticello City Council, Thursday night about the problem with pit bull dogs, and their care, inside of the Monticello city limits.

A child had her ankle broken and other injuries, less than a month ago, in an incident covered statewide TV.

Burton estimated that there are  400 -500 pit bulls in East End, with many of them being hid by their owners.  She also mentioned a problem with pit bulls in the Indian Mounds area.

Alexandria (age 11) and Warren (age 6) Pennington, children of Kenny and Brenda Pennington, are avid animal lovers.

They recently decided to sell lemonade and cookies during their family’s yard sale to raise money for PAWS Animal Shelter.

The youngsters raised over $30, and would like to thank everyone who purchased and donated.

I got out of my house on Florence Road, Saturday evening, and was lost, until a nice family found me Sunday morning, near Pauline Church.

They sent an e-mail to MonticelloLive, and my family came and got me a couple of hours later.

Thanks to those nice folks and MLive, I’m back at home with my family.

THANK YOU!!

We all should remember our pets during hot weather.

Even healthy dogs can over-heat or become dehydrated. (more…)

Michael “Red” Faulkner is shown here with a pit bull that has been causing trouble iin the North Gabbert area.

Last week, the dog was reported for attacking a family on Binns Circle, but got away, before he could be caught, attacking a police officer, who couldn’t compromise the animal because of the surroundings.

Tuesday, this same dog was loose, scaring a group of children on Ross Ave.

Faulkner, a city employee, volunteered to crawl under a house to retrieve the animal, and take him to the city pound.

This is the classic feel good story, but it is also true.

On a recent, hot June Friday afternoon, a “momma dog” and her litter of approximately 2 week old puppies, were dropped off inside the gate at the city’s trash transfer station, which also houses the city pound.  (this is not an appropriate or responsible action to take with animals.)

One of the small puppies fell into a drain pipe in the area, and couldn’t get out. (more…)
