Simply appalling.

This definitely should be investigated.

I'm sure it is illegal to be selling dogs on a street corner. Do you have photos?

Thanks. Has Schiavone looked into this?

Like New Haven needs more pitbulls. Slum lord!

I do not know if Schiavone has looked into this or not, but he should. Is this the same woman that had a sign up about 6 months ago in the window of the old Quinnipiac store front, advertising puppies for sale? How sad for the dogs.

seriously? how could anyone treat animals like this? someone should investigate this.

I understand economic hardship pushes people to desperate measures.... but do we really need more pit bull terriers in town? I will alert animal control.

Hello folks, dont know if you all have noticed but only about 5-10% of the Pit Bulls in this town are neutered / spaid and that every dog shelter from Maine to California is filled with Pit mixes.

You need to call the animal control and let them handle this, ask for Ms.Johson, you have to learn to call and document all phone calls and letters.its very important.

to inform u i gave all my puppies to good homes out of this area!! Noone bred puppies!!!!i never sold one!! u need to get a life!!! my dog accidently gets pregnant while im working and i am breeding are u secretly sleeping with me wow get a life worry about the drug needles on the floor when kids walk by worry about the prostitutes all over wow dont assumee things and write do ur homework

This explains the wild pit pull, unleashed, I saw in Fairmont Park last year. Scared the crap out of me, and for good reason.

I'm closing this issue from 2011, which seems to have had a response. If a similar issue occurs, please report as a new SCF issue under "police issue" and it will be brought to the attention of the animal control officer to investigate.

Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Smuts, but she is still there. And still has more than 3 pit bulls in her property that are not neutered and still have puppies . Shell ices above the grocery store and this property is managed by Diana Nastri. Still a problem. Closing it does not fix it. Nice try.

Agreed, this area is still problematic, not fixed. Drug dealing in the lot behind this corner.

nice try Rob, but problems don't go away when no one does anything !!

Thank you for the constructive dialogue related to this post. As there has been no activity in recent years I am closing this issue. If this remains a concern, please call the NHPD non-emergency line at (203)946-6316 or Animal Control at (203) 946-8110 to report that this is ongoing as the police do not actively monitor SCF. Thank you.
