THE FAMILY DOG: Fighting To Keep Our Dogs, an Operation SAFETY NET success story

by Alysha Ramirez

Alysha and Manny’s puppies!


My boyfriend, Manny and I were having a great time outside with our pitbulls when a dog approached my yard. My neighbors about 2 houses down would always let their dog roam the streets. Their dog would always bark at my dog and I always told them to get their dog, but they always refused.

The day we were outside, their dog managed to get into my yard, of course my pitbull was protecting his territory and bit the dog. After that happened the owner came to my yard and took their dog home. A little while later, they called Animal Control. They came out and said they had to take my dogs because they were aggressive.They also said that the neighbors said that my dogs went to their yard and attacked their dog which wasn’t true.

When I tried to get my pitbulls back, they refused to give them back because they were labeled as dangerous animals. My boyfriend and I were upset and we didn’t know what to do. While we were at the animal shelter we saw a poster that said DOWNTOWN DOG RESCUE. So we happened to call it and spoke to a lovely lady named Lori Weise. She happened to be the best and helped us get our dogs back and prove that they were not dangerous dogs.

So basically what I’m trying to say is thanks to Lori and Downtown Dog Rescue, I got my dogs back.

Pitbulls are the best kind of dogs you can have.

Editors Note: Alysha and Manny showed up for their Los Angeles Animal Services Administrative hearing but their neighbor was a no-show, so the good news? The case was dismissed. Another Operation Safety Net success story.
