**** Owner has Reclaimed his goats.******* 3 goats in the street. Having a good time. Not the first time they have been running around the neighborhood. But I hope it is their last time to be out running around.
People have put them back in their yard a couple of times. Thank you all that stopped to help me , do a little goat wrangling. With out all the help I could not have caught them all. Especially Ms. Wild Thing.
I did knock on the owners door, but no one would come to the door. The 4th. goat broke into the dog pen, where their Pit Bull was at. I guess the dog wanted some lamb chops.
Dog grabbed the goat by the neck and we had to rescue the goat from the dog. What a cluster fluster . No animal nor person got hurt ,so all is good. Except I smell like a stinking Billy goat now.
IF you are going to have dogs or livestock in Bloomburg. You must keep them confined them to your yard. With a good fence. And you must provide them with proper shelter.
The owner of the goats have 72 hours to Reclaim the goats. Reclaim Fee is $50 per goat. Three goats was running loose. Total for goats $150
Boarding fee per day is $15 per goat.... ( 3) $45 per day for boarding per day. The 4th.goat was not running at large, we just saved it from the dog. No charge for that goat.
If owner does not Reclaim goats within 72 hours. Then goats become property of the city. They will be put up for sale or auction.
