Lexy Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 One couple and a young girl who are associated with this restaurant live next door to me. They are "dog people" so I'm puzzled why they'd let this dog be neglected like this. They have been gone since just before Christmas, including their four small dogs and several various cars that are parked on the street. So far, the house is still empty as of today. I'd talk to them if they were home. Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people think that's all a dog like her (a "guard dog") needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Bango Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't know. She has to be being fed, because she looks like she gets fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I am not sure leaving dogs otherwise being taken care of alone is considered under the law to be abuse, certainly not a well-fed dog left in a business establishment after hours. I understand the department handling animal abuse cases is understaffed and its priority is going to be starved, sick, beaten, abandoned animals. Sounds as though this dog is socialized to humans and is lonely for companionship. While that is heartbreaking to us, we need to consider the bigger picture here.

Yeah Xena, that's what I was thinking. That as long as it's fed and has no signs of physical harm, it's not considered abuse here. I am going to wait until they re-open and speak to the owners. I wish there was more I could do. Thanks for the solid advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Bango Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I just posted in their review section of their Facebook page and got an immediate response. Says that his dog's name is Chata and that he saved her from the street and she was just skin and bones, that she is the restaurants pet and they feed her and take care of her -- that he can't let her about free because customers come with their own dogs. I'm glad he responded. I only just replied that she is still alone all the time and sad and can't he bring her into his home instead of leaving her there alone all the time. I have to go out now. Don't know if he'll respond again, but maybe things will get better for Chata from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thank you for following through with this, Poe. You are truly a friend to the animals. You have opened a dialog with the owner and that is so important. Once again, thank you for all you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Perhaps another could be found to keep Chata company. A dog alone guarding property is normal all over the world. But a pair always works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyfull Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 There is a grassy area there where they keep her tied up during business hours. It would be easy to fence it off. The owner also does a lot of the wrought iron work you see there. I wonder how much the material to put up a wrought iron fence would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Two of the people associated with the restaurant live next door to me. They were away during xmas holidays. They are now putting in an appearance at the house again. Something is going on with them. They come and go, but the front of the house is a mess, with broken glass bottles not being cleaned up and dead plants. A Corvette is parked in the car port not being used. The people living there use two different cars parked on the street. My husband is desperately ill in the hospital in Guad. I'm sorry I cannot take even a moment to try to speak to them. They live in Villa Nova, Calle Hacienda #7 (I think, as I am #9). This is the street that you are on as soon as you drive in under the Villa Nova arches. I'm sorry this is all I can offer in the way of info. Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could ask the cost of material and see if it's something you might want to help offset the cost of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothernewbie Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Here's a link to a dog who was recently abandoned. He might make a great companion for the dog at Monte Cristo. If someone will talk to them and they are interested, I am willing to help pay for any expenses to get it going i.e. neutering, vaccines, etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/884995861533687/941816595851613/?notif_t=group_comment_reply Note that the link works if cut and pasted.

nothernewbie Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sorry but just found out that the "fellow" abandoned and referred to above is a girl so not an appropriate companion for the girl at Monte Cristo. If anyone finds them receptive to a companion I will find one and pay for whatever is needed such as neutering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 That old wive's tale of same sex dogs not getting along is just--very old and worn out. It totally depends on the personality of the dogs. I have all females and they get along fine--3 now and one I had to put to sleep a few months ago makes 4 together.

RVGRINGO Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 We also have all females and they do have a pecking order, but get along with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not exactly an old wives tale. If you have ever broken up a bitch fight, you can see that in their minds it is "to the death". If you have a bossy female - get a male dog or a submissive female. If you have a submissive or very mellow female, a bossy female may still cause problems if added to the household. It is always a good idea to be aware and evaluate more than what the new dog looks like when adding new dogs to the household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes many females do get along and others do for years and then decide only one should live. Females, unlike most males, usually fight to the death. Not something I want to be involved with. If they want another dog there are plenty of males - why chance it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 yes the personality of both dogs need to be checked out before putting them together. By the way if these people cannot take care of the needs of one dog why recommend another dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
