Animal control asks residents not to feed feral dog; mobile vet now serving shelter
Summary
Gila County Animal Control said traps have been set for a feral dog in Roosevelt but residents feeding the animal are hampering capture; the agency also announced a new mobile veterinarian working with the shelter at www.azvetdirect.com.
JC Castaneda of Gila County Animal Control told residents he received a complaint about a feral dog in Roosevelt and that traps have been set. Castaneda said some residents are feeding the dog and asked them to stop because food is the only practical way to lure the animal into traps given recent changes in laws governing tranquilizer darts.
Castaneda also announced a new mobile veterinarian who will work with the animal shelter and is accepting new clients at www.azvetdirect.com.
Animal Control asked residents to report observations and to avoid feeding feral animals to help the capture effort. No citations or enforcement actions were announced at the meeting.
