Alright so Ive bought my house about a year and a half ago. Across the street is a house that has been vacant for atleast that long, and from what Ive heard from my neighbors, even a year before I moved in.
People pretty much take good care of the houses around here... except the one across the street from me. The house and property look like ****, the front "cannopy" is falling down, the roof is ****ed up, **** in the yard, a Saturn that hasnt moved ever... just looks horrible. But the worst part is the two little dogs that live there.
Apparently an old lady lived there... she had two dogs, and I can only guess that whe she died she actually willed the house to the dogs until they die. So people come once a day for about 5 minutes, feed them and let them out in the yard for literally 2-3 minutes and thats it. Thats no life for an animal IMHO. Sometimes you can see them in the main window barking and looking out, and I really feel bad for them. One time last year when the tree fell on my pool during the wind storm, their front door kept blowing open (that tells you the shape of the house) so I went over to close it, and the poor things were just coweing in the corner.
Is there anything that can be done? Isnt it illegal to leave animals alone like that? I was thinking of calling the SPCA or what ever, but I want to make sure: a- what theyre doing is illegal, and b- that the dogs would be put into a shelter up for adoption, not killed.
