Asked on Sep 26th, 2014 on Animal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
I live in a county that has a leash law. I live on a street where I have been dealing with up to 7 dogs running loose on the street and leaving deposits in my yard since 2012 since I have been complaining to the dog catcher about this. Problem is on of the leash law abusers is a county employee and they are being called and given a copy of my emails and informed the dog catcher will be coming to the street so they put their dog in. I have been dealing with this since 2012 and can't get the county to do their job. I need help and now.

Your two options are likely pursuing a Writ of Mandamus against the dog catcher or a nusiance lawsuit against each dog owner. Bigger issue is whether this is an important enough issue that you are willing to commit the thousands of dollars necessary to get such legal actions started. If not you may want to explore other options such as fencing your yard, using barrier bushes, etc. If you have further questions, please call our office at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.
