Show I SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS - Thursday, February.,25, 1988 - Page Three Police Hound Dogs from City Streets Kanab Police Chief Bill Blasdell has a doggone problem. Well, actually, its isnt a matter of dogs gone, atalL Its a problem of too many dogs running loose in Kanab. Yeah, its a problem. Its a big problem, said Chief Blasdell. He added that unattended dogs running Kanab streets, chasing cars and plundering garbage cans on trash pick-u- p day are a public nuisance. Forty to 50 percent of our complaints are dog related, said Blasdell. And, now that the Kanab Creek Ranchos are annexed, the dog complaints are rising. The whole situation is getting ridiculous, said Blasdell. Blasdell said the complaints cover a wide range of doggy misdemeanors, from barking, biting, running loose, scavenging garbage, chasing cars to messing in other peoples yards. To control the problem, the Kanab Police Department is cracking down on canine criminals and their owners. Im gonna go block to block and GW Ax Xs If v i "S; - 3 Vs i are in violation of city ordinances, Blasdell said. Blasdell said the first offense will cost dog owners $ 10.50. The second offense costs $2 1 , the third costs $4 1 mid the fourth costs $80. He added if dogs are running loose, hell impound them at the Best Friends Animal Shelter. We cant, have this. Dogs in Kanab are running die town, Blasdell warned. On the more serious side, Blasdell said that many of the dogs running at large have not been immunized against rabies. He noted that a rabies outbreak is in full swing in norhtem Arizona. Moreover, the time police officers spend investigating dog ts is time away from more important police duties. Blasdell said dog owners need to control their pets. Licensing is the first step. A city dog license costs $15 for an unaltered dog and $5 for a spayed or neutered dog. Blasdell noted that pet owners can obtain a $20 spay or neuter voucher from Best Friends upon request Persons with more than three dogs living at one residence must obtain a kennel license from the city. Blasdell added that dogs running at large are breaking the law. They must be restrained by a leash or a fence on the owners property. Otherwise a citation will be issued to violators. And, since dogs dont have bank accounts, dog owners will have to pay the fine. r Money Seminar An investment representative from Zions First National Bank's investment department of Salt Lake City will be in Kanab tomorrow for consultation.
