Police Investigate Dog Neglect Case on Oenoke Lane

By Michael Dinan | January 20, 2016

New Canaan Police are investigating what they say could amount to a dog neglect case on Oenoke Lane, after the head of the department’s Animal Control section found that adequate outdoor shelter has not been provided for two canines left outside repeatedly in inclement weather. Animal Control Officer Allyson Halm, in a report obtained by NewCanaanite.com through a Freedom of Information Act request, details that she first saw a German shepherd and shepherd mixed-breed dog outside the house and “soaking wet” on the morning of Dec. 2, and that over the following three weeks, two people separately contacted the department to report a similar problem. Halm immediately contacted the woman listed as the dogs’ owner on Dec. 2 and received a voicemail back in which the woman “related that her dogs were fine, loved and well cared for, and did not want to receive a message like the one I left again,” according to the report.
