Mon - Fri I go to a park-n-ride to catch a commuter bus for work. Next to the park-n-ride are some seedy looking low income apartments. For over a week now I have noticed a medium sized dog, possiblly a pit bull mix who apparently lives on a tiny, tiny balcony of a second story apartment.
Each morning I see the dog on the balcony curled up asleep which makes me think more than likley he probably sleeps out there all night. When I arrive back at the park-n-ride at 5:00PM, the dog is still on the balcony and looks distressed. Last week it was hot and he was panting hard and pawing at the wall of the apartment and this week so far it has been raining pretty hard. The balcony offers no cover at all to provide any kind of shade or protection from the sun or rain.
I called the apartment management office and reported it but nothing has changed. Do you think this is enough where the Humane Society would get involved? The dog doesnt look starved but it appears he is confined to the tiny balcony to live. No, I dont live in the immediate area to see if he is brought in at night or if he is taken for walks but I still think he should have some sort of protection if he is going to spend a good amount of time on that stupid balcony. what do you think?
