2729 Guilford is the address where the pit bull lives who attacked another dog on 12/2 . <BR>
<BR>
I have been contacted by the Director of Animal Control about improving the process for reporting incidents and follow up by Animal Control. I have some additional quesitons for him and then I will be able to write a full report back to the residents. But thus far, Animal Control has been very responsive to our questions.<BR>
<BR>
More to come.<BR>
<BR>
To All: We are looking for volunteers to populate and chair CVCA Committees. Will you help?<BR>
