That was a great read.  H5 for an awesome find.

I can't imagine living next to someone like that.  Hey ask your neighbors, see what they say.  See if the dogs have shade, food, water, which many people asked her and she never replied.  Are they long haired or short haired?  For all she knows, when it gets above 100 the dogs stay inside. 

The question isn't being answered because we know the answer is that the dogs have food, shelter, and water should they need it. I've lived in Arizona too. Our dogs did not spend their whole summer outdoors, but they had what they needed when they were out there. They were healthy, content, and our vet also said as long as they had opportunity for shade and water, they would be fine because we posed the question as folks new to that envirnment at the time. We brought ours in during the hottest part of the day, but any other time(and the temps can stay around 105 in the early evening) they were allowed out.

Dogs survive in Iraq where it is about 5 degrees cooler than hell.  I feel so bad for her husband it makes me wanna cry. :bawl:

It looks like a lot of posters are just pulling her chain. 

As for the husband, he must research the 50 ways to leave.  I would taker her first post as prima face evidence that she is an abuser. :popcorn:

My my, what did all of those dogs and cats do before evil Capitalistic pigs moved in and started buying their A/Cs and plumbing their homes?  :whatever:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

71. You're getting irrational.
   
Yes, I know "this" is Arizona. Have you not read what I've written? I live here, too, and I know how animal control works here. If you don't have evidence of abuse, nothing will happen. And if you attempt to take the dogs yourself, you'll be liable for prosecution for theft.

You haven't answered any of the pertinent questions asked of you. I've told you that I live here, too, probably not more than a few miles from you. I've lived in Arizona for almost 25 years, and I've had dogs all the time I've lived here.

I've also been on DU long enough to know that it's bad form to accuse other posters of telling untruths, but in the absence of answers from you regarding the details of this "case," I have come to the conclusion that you either don't know what you're talking about or you're making things up. I offered specific remedies including the names of real individuals and organizations you can contact to find out if the dogs in question are being mistreated, and you prefer to scream "I'M CALLING ANIMAL CONTROL!" That's not the rational behavior of a concerned individual; it's the irrational ranting of a child.

Therefore, I'm outta here. I tried to help, and I got abuse from the person I tried to help, and I don't stick around for very much of that.

If anyone else wants to verify the information I've given, you can reach Marta Saint-James at www.goldcanyondog.org . Companion Pet Clinic is at 5331 S Superstition Mtn Dr (Basha's center) #102, Gold Canyon, AZ 85218 (480) 671-1403. I can't vouch for what cards or posters may be on the bulletin board at Gecko Espresso on any given day, but there are a lot of animal-welfare groups in the area and a lot of animal lovers at the Gecko.

Better yet, why don't you personally initiate the "rescues" on private property? I'd love to see how that one goes over in Texas.

Call animal control hell. Better call the little men in white coats for the gold crayon. ....or put her in a padded "create".
