I have a 1 year old Mini Dachshund, and a new 2 month old PittBull puppy. They have stated to me when I got the puppy that they were scared to have a pittbull in the neighborhood. Well, I have had them all of my life, and raised and trained them well. I also have a cat, and am not worried about him also. I have no qualms about her being around my yound daughter or anyone elses. It has been proven, by myself and I am sure many others that you can raise a pittbull not to be violent. Anyway, I assured them she would be aclamated to their dogs, children, and she would always be in her own fenced yard and if they were still scared they should not let their children jump my fence to take the short cut to the park. Well this was about 2 weeks ago, and this morning I found a small dish of what seems to be antifreeze stuck under my fence between my home and theirs. I called the sheriffs Department and they said they could not do anything because I cannot prove they did it, and my dogs did not get into it or get hurt. I am furious! There is no other way it could have gotten there as it is between two fenced in locked yards. The only reason my babies did not get into it is because I kept them in until I could go out with them this morning. I am not sure the exact effects of antifreeze on a dog, but have heard it will kill them. What in the world am I to do now? I will not get rid of my dogs, and I will not allow these people to hurt them. How do you suggest I take care of this? Thanks in advance and any help would be greatly appreciated.

here a tip you should do. keep them in a cage that they can play around. it's ensure also the safety of your daughters. or let them be inside your house. don't let your dogs wondering around because pittbull is an animal you can't predict what will they do to others even if their train dogs as you say. just being carefull. hope you understand what i mean. i am not also against having a pet dog in the house. i love dogs too. i have one also.

That is exactly why pittbulls become vicious! I will never cage her up. She will never be a danger to my daughter or anyone elses daughter. Pittbulls have a natural hunting instinct towards other animals, and I have never had a problem keeping it under control. I train my dogs well. I have nor will I ever be afraid of her around my children. If I chain her up or cage her, she will lack the love, discipline and social skills she needs to be a healthy dog. She will become what people hate.

I am so sorry that happened and I know how you must feel. A some years back I had a doberman pinscher puppy and my next door neighbor say they were vicious animals and I have better watch the dog because if he saw anything he didn't like he would shoot her. I told if he did that I would shoot him. He never tried to shoot her but I found my doberman and my Irish setter both eating very thin camera flash bulbs. I will not go into any more details but there were both OK but my vet reported it to the prevention of cruelty to animals agency. I think it worked because I never had anymore trouble. You could try and make a report to an animal protection group.

Well it is a wake up call to you that you should be extra careful to your dogs otherwise you should trained them or someone to recognize the smell of these poisonous thing. I think you should not put them out unless you are around. \
CAREFUL!

I can't understand how some people are so callous.
In Melbourne we had a couple teenagers throw a Maltese/Poodle from a railway overpass just for laughs. The poor thing lay in agony for hours till someone heard it crying.

Yes there was a case near here where someone, an adult, put a puppy in the oven alive and baked it until it was near death and then threw it out. It died but the trash collectors reported it. He was arrested. it is a horrible problem. To think what kind of person it takes to do auch a thing.

It depends on how much your dog ate. I recommend you take it to a doctor or veteran to have it examined.
It really depends how much your dog ate. antifreeze.

They did not ingest any of it. Did you read the post? Or just not understand it?

OMG, that is terrible. Oh, my hubby has to keep me from going to the local pound. I want to save them all, and bring them home. If I had a farm, I think I would have a rescue. Who was caring for your dog? They could not go and get it for you?

Forgive me, but what is an antifreeze. If it is a device or something that can potentially harm your dog, then definitely your neighbors put it there with the intention of harming or even killing two dogs. Some people can really go to great lengths just to be able to do crazy things. It's a good thing that you called the sheriff. At least they have been alerted just in case something bad really happens to your dogs.

Ugggghhhhh.....I get so mad when I hear about this kind of thing. I know it seems like you have no recourse, but I have read other people's comments about putting up a hidden camera, and I agree with them. I know it won't give you the satisfaction that you are seeking, since these people really did attempt to take your babies lives....but please put the camera up, WATCH your dogs, and be patient. If you catch these monsters on camera, it will be SOOOOO worth it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. amafrias (321)   ranked 639 out of 9,741 in dogs  3 years ago

I have put the camera up, and have informed them that I have put one up. I am more interested in detering them right now. If I catch them doing it now, it will be so stupid of them to just ignore my warnings. I did not let on I thought it was them, but they know noone else has access to that part of the yard.

You are right when you say that these dogs can be very good doggs. I had one for many years and she was the best dog in the world. She would not of hurt anyone. Anyhow I would suggest putting in one of those six foot privacy fences and if you can not afford that get some kind of survalience equipment. This can be gotten for fairly cheap. One time I just used my camcorder to catch some vandals as it had a motion sensor on it. If you can get them on tape doing something like this then you would be able to press charges against them. For now I would not let the little guy out alone.

U can complain to the pet concerning authorities of ur area and just get the proof of them attempting to kill the dog.. They are really very stupid doing such a thing . I think there may be some NGO's for pets welfare which can be contacted . If i was in ur position i would have really blasted my anger at my neighbours and make sure they forget about even getting near to my dog
