I sat with this dog for nearly three hours trying to find help. He had no collar, sweet as can be, I gave him Water. Had him lay with me in the shade, soaked his fur to keep him cooler, locals said he had been roaming the area for over an hour and they were scared for their kids. Animal control apparently only had one driver and it was going to be a further 2-3hr wait. I’m not from the area and had my dog in the car with me and no AC. So sitting standstill for that long wasn’t an option for me. I called district seven non emergency and they sent dispatch out. I tied him up behind a blue hse on the south side of 40th and Vienna. I believe the address was 3934? I gave it to dispatch and left the poor boy with food and water and the neighbor told me she would keep an eye on him to make sure he was alright. I pray this baby gets home or at the least. Somewhere safe…

Myles Riane I really wish I could have but unfortunately my dog (whom was in the car with me) and this beautiful baby didn’t get along and I didn’t feel safe bringing him with the possibility of a fight occurring inside the car. And I’m not proud of the belt but it’s the only thing I had with me to use to tie him to the pole. I’d have just given him my own dogs collar and leash but we don’t typically bring them with when we go for rides. I really tried. I felt so awful having to leave him but I’m so SO glad someone brought him in. Apparently he had been roaming around for over an hour in that area and not a SINGLE person called animal control or even tried to help. (Except for one person putting a bowl of water out for him-Thank you whoever you are!)

OMG!!! I’m SO GLAD!! I called district seven after sitting with him for HOURS.. and they told me that someone would be there soon but I had to leave, I didn’t have anything other than my belt on me and some wneighbors in the area let me tie him to the pole in their backyard and then their neighbors told me they’d keep an eye on him until the patrol car came. I had my dog in the vehicle and they didn’t do well together so I had absolutely no option other than tying him to the pole I wasn’t comfortable enough with that and bawled my eyes out leaving that poor baby there, so I took pictures and posted them too. I truly considered every possible solution given the resources I had available to me. I love animals so unbelievably much and I’m EXTREMELY frustrated that Milwaukee city doesn’t have more available resources. Animal control told me it would be nearly 3 hours until their ONE driver could come, and the non emergency called me over an hour after I left (I had to get back to my Children and I live nearly an hour away from that area) just to tell me that there was no car that would be coming anytime soon because they had become too busy. That’s so frustrating for so many reasons. Nonetheless, I’m so glad he’s been found and I can’t thank everyone else enough for the help.
