Move to Detroit, MI or Riverside County, CA. I lived in Detroit for 30 years and have lived here in Riverside County, CA for 29, and have NEVER had a problem of any kind with AC. They are reasonable, fair, and really care about animals. When I have a dog get too old or too ill for rabies shots, I have never had a problem getting their annual license renewed with a waiver. I pay $50 a year now for unaltered dogs and $8 a year for altered dogs. I have assisted them with emergency pet evacuations (fires, earthquakes, etc.) and I donate to the animal shelter annually. I have adopted dogs and cats from their shelters over the years. I don't envy them their work one bit; they deal with a lot of scofflaws, sadists, abusers, neglectors, hoarders, etc. I know that I couldn't do it!!

This is why I am, at best, extremely suspicious of any so called AC officer. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
