Description

I am officially filing this complaint as a way to respond to some posts I have recently seen. I have been at the park before during one of these alleged "complaints" and no one with 5 dogs was there. I do not appreciate this person filing multiple complaints about larger dogs in the dog park meant for dogs over 25lb. This person is clearly discriminating against larger breeds. This person is causing an unnecessary disturbance to the community. It clearly states in the rules that you enter at your own risk. The second rule states the city of Portage is not liable for your decision to enter.

As for rule violations, I would be happy to point out this individual has already "violated" the weight limit for the small dog park. I do not see why this individual is picking and choosing what rules are being violated. As for the concern about multiple people claiming the dogs, that is clearly written within the VERY FIRST RULE: "1. The Owner, defined as any individual who brings a dog to the Dog Park or has a dog in his or her care, is legally responsible for that dog and any injury or damage caused by the dog." If others are claiming the responsibility of the other dogs, it is clearly within the set rules.

I was asked today where all my dogs were. I had no idea what this person meant. It took me asking for clarification to learn about the drama that has been unfolding and others at the park informed me about these reports. The fact the aggressor is just going at anyone who has a large dog is frankly not okay. I question the validity of these claims, as I do not own 5 dogs and yet was asked about this.
