A letter to dog owners:

The following letter is being mailed to the people of Felsenthal:

Dear Citizen:

As you are surely aware, the town of Felsenthal passed this year an ordinance (#01-2011) forbidding free-running dogs. Click here to see the ordinance. According to this ordinance, "It shall be unlawful for any person who owns a dog…to allow them to run at large." It further states,"any dog not confined as set forth herein shall constitute a public nuisance."

If you own a dog or dogs that have been running at large—either part or some of the time during the day or night—on a regular basis, you must comply with this ordinance immediately. Our office has received various complaints of either threatening behavior or destructive behavior on the part of several dogs in town. In one case a citizen has been bitten; in other cases, items have been destroyed on complainants' property or messes have been made in yards.

Several dogs running at large recently killed a puppy and another group of dogs attacked some tethered dogs, as well. Still other complaints stem from the dogs endangering themselves and drivers by running in the streets and causing near accidents.

This letter is a notice to all dog owners in Felsenthal that if your animals are not confined as ordered, they will be subject to capture and impounding with the UCAPS agency in El Dorado. Should such an action be necessary on the part of the town, the cost will be charged to you.

If any animal or animals are running at large and resist capture or prove to be aggressive and threatening, we have the right to euthanize it or them. We have no interest in capturing or killing any dog or dogs. We do insist, however, that owners keep all dogs from running at large during all hours of the day and night.

Thank you for your cooperation for the health and safety of all citizens of and visitors to our town.

Sincerely,

Linda Newbury, Mayor
