My sis won't even take them to get their shots. What makes you think she will take them to get fixed.
don't people move out to GET AWAY from family? on a serious note, it's nothing some anti-freeze can't fix.
A nice anonymous call to the SPCA will do the trick. They'll come and see how many dogs your sis has, give her a chance to clean up her act with them, and if she cah't/doesn't then they'll take the dogs. Though, you might want to go ahead and build the fence first, THEN call.
I said "letter" because she won't listen to your spoken words, and she can always come back to say "you never told me [blah blah]"... and she can say you never warned her. It seems like you've already tried the letterless approach and it ain't working.
i have a better idea...go get a gf (if you're not married), or hire someone to be her...instruct her to constantly complain about the situation, and then when you put up the fence (or any other course of action) to address her complaints, you can blame it on her and still be cool with your family. Afterwards break up with the gf
I have no idea why owners would not fix their pets? If my cats weren't fixed, I would probably have thirty of they running around the house now instead of two.
Don't mention dogs. Lately one attacked me,from my neighbour and bite me. It didn't hurt that much,but I got numerous tetanuses and those medicins for dog diseases.
She's not going to get them fixed. Getting them fixed isn't going to solve the problem alone now anyway. Right now you have to find out a way to get rid of the dogs, that's just an unreasonable amount of dogs to have. Either you sit down and explain to her or just call the SPCA and see if they'll do anything. Since you are sharing a yard, you really should have put your foot down a long time ago, like as soon as the first one came in, wrt how many and them being fixed. I have an aunt who collects animals but mostly cats and it can get to be a really nasty situation.
I just called SPCA. They told me to give her the ultimatum to choose her 3 favorite and get rid of the rest, or I will call the Animal Control and she will still have to choose her three favorite. This is not going to end well, but she should have never put ANYONE in theis situation in the first place.
good luck FT. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much(more?) bad blood. You are doing the right thing imo. For the dogs and your family.
Probably all you could do in this situation. The other thing I'd do is insist that the remaining 3 dogs be fixed. Otherwise, this situation is likely to repeat.
yup. she created this problem and she impossed and took advantage of everyone elses generosity. she will freak out but she has no one to blame but herself.
I just got quote on materials alone...$430.00 Looks like I'm going to have some friends over and drop a c-note on some barbq meat. Fence building Party!!! I'm also going to ask my sister what she would do if it were her kids (if she ever has any) that couldn't play in the yard because of all the crap?
