Updated Review: At last the chronically barking dog next door has been addressed. Since last November (10 months) there's been a non-stop, super loud, neglected barking dog. It took months of persistence, bark logs, videos, calls to the mayor's office and animal services but at last! South Salt Lake City Council opted to ignore the epic feral cat problem in the city, tying the hands of animal services. Shifting the problem to residents and Best Friend's. We trapped, neutered & vaccinated 10 cats. Costing well into the hundreds of dollars. Best Friend's has a great voucher program but it is not free. A volunteer with a neighbor have trapped, neutered & vaccinated 25-30 ferals on our street alone. This excludes our 10. Deb and her staff do their best with poor funding and a council that wants to shift the burden elsewhere, always. This has contributed to our decision to leave South Salt Lake. When proactive citizens can't get assistance to take actions to improve and build better communities, donating time & money of their own: the council is undermining the urban renewal of it's own city. Best of luck, Mayor Wood. You've got a hard road ahead. Original Review: I've been working for 9 months to address a feral cat colony. Feeding the 6-8 cats that come around our yard. I trapped and took 1 directly to be neutered. After many missed connections, I finally talked to Deb. She is pleasant. I trapped our favorite feral. Deb said they'd have them spayed & return them "within two days." Over a week later a shaved cat and it's sister materialized from a Best Friend's volunteer. On the plus side: it was free. I've had to nurse the shaved cat in my garage for 9 days so it doesn't die of hypothermia. If we'd have taken it in ourselves, there was a week of high temps. The cats wouldn't have been in the shelter for a week or in a garage cage for another 9-10 days. It's stressful for the cat & lots of work (& $$ running a space heater). We're glad to have healthy, spayed cats around.

I have been into a lot of shelters and this is the first one that truly cares about the animals in their custody. They all knew about the animals and their personalities.

My Overall Experience: Yes, these robots follow codes and protocol, because the code book says they have to--it's protocol. Did I mention they follow protocol? ....You know who else followed protocol? The Nazis during the holocaust. Just because you're following protocol doesn't mean you're doing the right thing. The definition of a bureaucrat is: "an official in a government department, in particular one perceived as being concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs." These robots are excellent examples of that definition. The Story: I work in South Salt Lake, and rather than locking my dog in a kennel or chained up for +8 hours, I've trained my dog to be obedient and take her to work with me. We have an enclosed fenced yard with a gate for customers to enter and exit from. My dog has been trained to never cross the line onto the sidewalk to public property. I've seen adults and children try to call her out from the yard, but she never does because she's been taught otherwise. During my normal work routine, I noticed a South Salt Lake Code Enforcement vehicle park in front of our building--didn't really think anything of it. Moments later I notice an Animal Control vehicle pull up as well. At this point, I decide I should check on my dog to make sure she is okay. Just as I walk outside, I see my dog loaded in the animal control truck and driven off. The code enforcement person still remained, as well as (2) witnesses that live adjacent to my work. I asked the one neighbor what happened. He said, "I was just putting on my shoes to tell them that was your dog. They baited your dog outside the gate and took her because she wouldn't go to them when they called her." I quickly ran to the code enforcement officer's vehicle and told her that they took my dog. She followed the animal control truck and had her return my dog. When I asked the animal control officer why she would bait a non-violent dog that is hesitant to leave it's property. She instantly became very rude and defensive why I would ask such a question. It turns out they had a report of a WHITE dog "At Large." My dog is black and brown with small white markings on her feet. So had the officer explained the situation respectfully and apologized for mistakenly taking my dog, there would not be an issue....BUT the officer acted completely out of line and threatened to impound my dog as she tightened the slip knot around my dogs neck because I was questioning this whole situation. I asked her, if the dog was hesitant to leave the property why wouldn't you just knock and ask if it was my dog? Her response was they don't have that time for that and she then went into details of how my dog was technically "At Large." After reviewing the South Salt Lake Code Ordinance and speaking with a few people, the South Salt Lake Animal Control Officers can pretty much do whatever they feel like. Literally, if your dog is not chained or leashed 24/7, it's "At Large" and they can impound. But you can also be fined for having your dog chained too long too. Regardless, it's lose-lose situation for dogs and dog owners. My frustration lies with the way the code is written and the attitude of the officers. They didn't apologize once. All they did was try to wash their hands of any legal obligation, explain the code, made me feel like a bad pet owner for not locking my dog up 24/7, and made me feel lucky they didn't take her. Oh by the way later that day my dog was lethargic, slept the rest of afternoon, and spent that night throwing up....I google the symptoms. Sedative reaction. What if there was an Amber Alert and your kid was playing in the yard. An officer pulls up and lures your kid from your yard with drugged candy, and doesn't even knock on your door. Turns out they have the wrong kid. Bring your kid back to you, not apologize, and then lecture you on letting your kid play in your yard. How would you feel? All I can say is I'm very thankful to be a Murray resident, because there I'm not treated like a criminal for being a good, loving dog owner.
