Lacey: 100 Block of Walnut- Dogs left outside for a few hours!
For some reason, people in Lacey have a stiff one for calling the cops on other peoples dogs? I get that there’s a difference between animal cruelty and pets being treated like animals, but I would call unless it was at least a full day.
Disposition: Dog was brought in prior to arrival. Clear.
Its freezing they shouldnt be out more than 10 mins
Well it is freezing and snowing out
Too cold out.
What? It feels like 12 degrees out and it’s snowing there’s no reason for a dog to be out there for hours… That’s how they get hypothermia
My 1 dog spends 5 mins outside, my Huskies I have to fight with for over an hr in this weather to come in. Lol I’m out there bribing them and all. In the summer they spend 5 mins outside and are begging to come in. As my other pup will sun bathe all day if you let her. Some dogs prefer the cold and especially the snow. But that doesnt mean you should leave them out. I seriously go through a box of treats on snow days bribing my pups to come in.
Kellyanne Greene Crandal huskeys are sled dogs, they have the coat to be outside for days and be fine, that’s why it’s so hard for them to come in when it’s cold they love the cold weather
Chris Defrancis I know but because of the law I’m always fighting to get them in?.
Same here! My Collie and Sheep dog love the snow. My Morkie hates the cold. Goes to the bathroom and comes right in. Vice Versa in the summer!
Know way leaf outside 2 cold go out do their business and right back inside I would call the police to
Itās to cold to have any pet out for hours. Isnāt there a law now about that?
Laura Smith simply not true.
You cannot make a blanket statement that will cover every dog breed.
I would call too! It’s way too cold for dogs to be left outside for more than 10 minutes.
Itās fine, nothing against the dogs or residents in town. Itās funny that Lacey of all towns in the county gets the most pet calls for cold and/or barking.
If the animal is visibly shivering and cold, something needs to be addressed.
Ocean County Scanner News I totally get what your saying.. Its just to cold for them outside it’s to cold for me .i won’t the summer
Wow… my dog just decided to get his ass off the couch to go out to pee and he huffed the whole time about stepping on the coating of snow. He went out maybe twice this morning.
Does not like the cold.
Jeanette Maarleveld Mine either. He limps and cries in the snow because his paws get cold. Not sure if heās being overdramatic or it actually hurts him that bad!
Kayla Gregg mine’s just a spoiled drama queen.
I don’t blame him though ?
Not mine lol
Shit my dogs love it outside this time of the year cold and everything but I will never leave them out for more then ten minutes
Maybe people in other towns call animal control instead of police? I don’t know if it goes thru the police department if you call animal control direct…I wish I had called the police when I heard my neighbor beating their dog instead of just animal control cause I don’t think they did anything they would also leave it crying out in the rain and snow
Weāre going to OPRA Dog Complaints for each 33 towns in the county. Then make a spreadsheet showing dog calls per town! ??
WHY? What does that prove? Maybe the town with the most complaints has the most IDIOTS living in it. Or maybe that town has the most animal lovers…………………………SMH
I w as s in my garage for 20 minutes doing stuff. My hands were hurting it was so cold. I would NEVER leave any of my 4 babies outside for longer than they need or want.
Too cold for my guys!
Ocean County Scanner News Callie too
It’s way too cold…Have a Heartā¤ļø

Depends on the dog.
If it’s left unattended and is barking, crying, shaking… not cool.
But dogs have to urinate somewhere… and some dogs like the cold.
There are sled dogs sleeping outside in Alaska…
?
Sharon Lynn Huber my Siberian husky would not come in snow storms dog loved the snow but like u said depends on the type of dog

Is someone gonna call on me for leaving my chickens out? Lol
My Eskipoo… 10 minutes tops.
For the record, this post has about 30 comments. The story about the homeless a few articles up has maybe 1 comment. We have laws to protect pets, but no laws to help homeless?
Ocean County Scanner News sad know one should be homeless ,hungry but we keep helping people from another country it’s time to help our own
The homeless story did not show in my feed (not sure of others either) but absolutely there should be homeless shelters of some type in every county I think the closest to here is Atlantic City. Social services make it near impossible for people to receive help locally my daughter had a friend who needed food stamps and was homeless and they told her they couldn’t help her unless she had an address (seriously!!)
Nancy Siegel
100% Correct
Ocean County Scanner News thank you I get heated when it comes to that
Ocean County Scanner News speaks volumes
Thiey are a disgrace .. I’m on SSD needed help with housing they told me you get ssd you can figure it out your self or go to a shelter or live on the streets nice told them why because I’m a American and worked all my life and now I can’t you can’t give some help .. Said I guess if was from another country lots of baby’s you wood help ..maybe I need to move to Mexico see what they give me
You wouldn’t call unless it was a full day? I have an idea. Get yourself all bundled up and go sit next to the dog left outside. Let’s see HOW LONG YOU LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do it and report back to me………I’m so curious.SMH
Ocean County Scanner News I work with my friends that are homeless. More people should. There’s a 7 month pregnant woman out there. Trying to get word out to help her. Homeless is not a choice. Some work 2 jobs. They aren’t doing drugs or drinking. They’re trying to survive. If anyone can help I can pick up items. Needing 1 lb propane’s. Also in need of a propane heater. You can pm me.
Ocean County Scanner News luckily the homeless DO have shelters (itās very sad and unfortunate there are many and I truly feel bad and WORSE for them) & they do not have āownersā but if you own a animal to purposely leave them outside in freezing temperatures IS cruelty.
Ocean County Scanner News I took in a homeless marine vet a month ago. All I could offer was a couch and my family. The result? Many miracles have happened…he got accepted for a job, got an insurance check from when his family member passed a year ago, and feels like he is home with family now. That’s a miracle in it’s own for him. Always push your good karma foward. .I love it and open my door to anyone I can fit in.. I’m out of bedrooms and couches now…but maybe a kid could squeeze into one of my kids bedrooms…if need be, my door is open.
Nicole Ann Ocean county does NOT have a homeless shelter. So sad……………………….
Nancy Ellen I have an idea, research before you open your mouth. ? Please do it and report back to me… Iām so curious to see what youāll find. There are several other independent recovery houses that arenāt only for addicts but those recovering from traumatic events or situations that have left them homeless. ?
If my dog is outside. I’m outside summer or winter
Did anyone rectify this? Anyone call?
You can call the cops on me because my German Shepherd is outside, but YOU have to come in the yard and try to get him inside. Deal? And do yourself a favor and cover your ass with a pillow.
Paul Povinelli heās beautiful!
Alexandra Elena Thank you!
If you leave your dog, barring the husky, outside for more than 10 minutes in the brutal cold we’ve been experiencing, you shouldn’t have a dog.
Ken Rumney there are over 100 breeds of a cold weather dog and a Collie (Lassie) is one of them. Cold weather dogs sleep on the ice outside the igloo- in -50 degree temperatures and they do just fine.
Good
i want to leave those idiots outside ??
Humans can speak for themselves, Dogs canāt.. Iād call too
Cats donāt belong outside
My baby ?? is the warmest pup
If it is too cold for a human to be outside in his birthday suit it is too cold for the dog too.
I took my 2 girls out at 9pm. Not even 10 minutes and they were so cold they were walking and holding their paws up. My bigger dog needed help getting up 4 steps. I can’t imagine leaving an animal outside in this weather.
Maybe all you complainers need to stop complaining and spend 5 minutes reading.
