Eileen - are you saying that animal services is not integrated as they represent with See Click Fix? Who would have thought that two dead dogs could land in one spot?

Hi Bennett, They just forward it to Oakland Animal Services which is a division of OPD. Seeclickfix forwards many things, like abandoned autos. For me, it's quicker and simpler to just report it to the place that actually handles it than to go the seeclickfix, intermediary route. It's disgusting that someone has dumped yet another dog in the same spot. It looks like it was mistreated before it died.

Who would the best person at Animal Services for SeeClickFix to contact to help onboard?

I don't know the process that seeclickfix uses for forwarding reports to the appropriate entity. What I do know is that I got a call from a very nice animal services woman this morning saying she was at the location and having trouble finding the dog. She had picked up the last rotting dog. Because I had seen and saved the photo and knew the dog's exact location from Eric's details, I was able to describe the dog and tell her exactly where it was seen. She looked where I told her and saw that someone had dumped some wood on top of the dog's corpse. This is why I like to report myself. The form asks you for a contact phone number and you can clarify the location or follow up with Animal Services, as needed.

Oh, sorry, Ben. I just noticed you are "Admin" for seeclickfix. (Not enough coffee.) I'll be happy to contact Animal Services to see if they want to participate directly. I do feel contacting them myself via their online form is better and faster because they can call me if they have questions or need clarification. While I love seeclickfix, the platform does have some limitations. I like reporting directly to Code Enforcement, as well, because I then have a case # from them and follow up. The seeclickfix report # isn't the same thing.

I would like messaging ability on seeclickfix, so users can communicate, organize and work together to create change.

I also believe this appears to be the same breed of dog. Given the coincidence of the same location twice, it is likely the same offender, perhaps a breeder is involved in this or they may be animal cruelty involved as another layer. No idea how and if the City 'listens' to SCF as they have never in the time I have been posting here EVER responded other than 'robosigning' - which we all know in my opinion is very weak and an inappropriate policy choice by the public servants. (City not participating)

The other one looked like a German Shepherd to me. (I've attached your photo, Bennett.) This one looks different. I agree they both look abused and neglected. The woman I spoke with from Oakland Animal Services says she has been out to pick up dead dogs at that location more than these two times. It seems likely they were dumped by the same awful person. I don't know how they could find out who it was unless someone recognizes these poor dogs.

Indeed you are right - I was having an early onset senior moment or something - clearly a young german Shepard in the earlier case - there is a breeder or minimally a household with perhaps a dozen+ dogs, that make quite a lot of racquet at the corner of Pearmain and Apple - no idea of course if it is related

Hmmm…

In some states, certain owners are exempt from limit laws. Exemption cases include special groups, such as licensed breeders and boarding facilities, and owners who licensed their pets before the limit law took effect. For example, in Oakland, California, the limit for dogs per household is three, but one home can have more than three dogs if they were licensed before Jan. 1, 2006.

If they ared unlicensed backyard breeders, then perhaps Oakland Animal Services should be notified.
