Shawn writes in with this report from the east side of Decatur…

It appears we have 3 potentially dangerous dogs on the loose in the Decatur Heights/ Glenwood Estates area. In the course of the last 3 weeks several cats have been killed in this area via canine attack.

On several occasions over the last 3 weeks there have been eyewitness accounts of 3 dogs (2 pit bulls & 1 pit and lab mix) making the rounds. None of the dogs have collars.

Decatur police has been notified on several occasions. They have in turn contacted animal control who was then suppose to contact the individuals making the reports. No return calls from animal control thus far.

The neighborhood theory is that the dogs may be living in the reserve.

Follow-up contact with the Police requesting increased surveillance has been requested. Hopefully they will respond before the dogs turn their attention to larger prey.

Sounds like Decatur Heights residents might want to keep their cats inside until this situation is taken dealt with.

Is this DeKalb or Decatur Animal Control?
