Fitchburg, MA PLUS

The owners has several dogs. The large dog is kept in a cage in the back yard and barks all day and thru the evening. Last night the large dog was barking after 11:00 pm. Allowing a dog to bark constantly is consider abuse to the dog. I believe the dog officer should investigate the purpose of the owners having dogs in the yard in cages and why this dog is constantly barking. There may be abuse happening to these dogs if they are constantly barking.

Multiple (three) dogs barking in excess of 10 minutes sometimes before 7am.

This violates the noise ordinance and occurs daily!!

"BARKING DOG

No owner or keeper, or person otherwise in control of or responsible for a dog, shall allow or permit the dog to annoy another person or to interfere with another person's right to peace and quiet by reason of loud or continuous animal noises from the property, building or premises where the dog is kept, or from a vehicle or conveyance in which the dog is traveling. An owner or keeper has a duty to prevent barking and other animal noises from disturbing other persons. Such noises, plainly audible at the lot line of the premises from which they emanate, and occurring continuously or repeatedly for 10 minutes or more, constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this subsection.
arrangements have been otherwise arranged."

My daughter recently moved into the house next to this property and it seems to be severely infested with pigeons and mice. I’m assuming from the immense amount of trash around the outside of the property that the inside must be worse and it’s effecting the surrounding properties and well-being of the residents in the area dealing with all of the poop and feathers everywhere

2 or 3 dogs barking when left outside in fenced yard. owner can be unresponsive when the dogs are done doing their business , leaving the dogs to bark & bark all hours of the day

Continuously barking dog for the past 60 minutes out alone in the 36 degree weather at 116 Rinnock Road.

Two dogs left outside at all hours, constantly barking/howling causing a nuisance

Was walking with my newborn and right as I turned onto the street the green house’s big dog started barking before I was even near the property/ could even see it. I kept walking and it jumped up on the fence and kept barking so I ended up having to turn around. The fence they have is way too short to house what dog unattended if it’s going to chase people walking by. That’s ridiculous. They have more than one beware of dog sign- which means they know the dog is some sort of issue as it is. People can’t just leave their dogs outside when they know they act like this. Too scary and too prone to accidents. Fix it.
