The Community Law Center may be a good resource. They helped the Barclay/Vineyard neighborhood with a drug house. Resolved in our favor. We told the landlord we would sue him.

Both the police and animal control visited us last evening, the police to follow up after they talked to the owner, and animal control as their first visit to the house.  The attacking dog is currently still at home in the block, so please don’t walk your dog or have young children taken down that block.  Animal Control photographed the dog, and will request a hearing once the police report is finalized and available.  We’ll certainly follow up on both aspects. 
 
Herschel is home as of late last night, and bandaged up quite badly.  The vet said he is lucky to be alive, and Greg was not seriously injured himself.  However, we will be pursuing this matter legally once all of the paperwork is ready!

Rod:

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Chat List.  I am sorry that you were attacked by a pit bull two months ago but I am glad to hear that the Northern District responded timely and in a manner that resulted in a proper resolution.

In response to your complaint about Animal Control, the CVCA Safety Committee will take this matter under advisement, and will discuss the scheduling of a meeting between interested residents, Animal Control, Northern District Police, and CVCBD Safety Staff, about how dog attack incidents are handled and whether any improvements are necessary.  We will notify the residents when the meeting date is set.

The residents can help in this process by notifying our CVCA President, Jennifer Erickson, at cvcapresid...@yahoo.com, or me at the email address below, if you hear of any other incidents of this type.

 Thank you.

 Sharon Guida, Chair, CVCA Safety Committee

My dog and I were attacked by a pit bull in the alley between Maryland Ave and Howard St. approximately two months ago.  I had to nearly beat the life out of the pit bull in order to get it to let go of my dog.  In the process I seriously cut up my hands and broke my foot.  I held the pit bull by the throat while my wife called animal control.  Animal control responded by saying that they would dispatch an officer immediately, and we could expect them within 72 HOURS!  Needless to say, we then called police, and they showed up and dealt with the situation.  I provided all of my information and obtained a police report.  I was told that animal control would contact me within 24 hours.  I never heard from animal control, and had to verify the rabies vaccinations of the pit bull on my own.  Luckily, the pit bull's owner was found, and I was able to obtain the vaccination records.  My personal experience has been that Baltimore City Animal Control is worthless.

 My happy ending is that my dog has fully recovered.
