Dog in car all day?

Okay, so, for the past two days, we noticed that there is this douchebag that leaves his dog in his parked car outside my house all day. He was there yesterday for like 2 hours, possibly more, and he is there again today. Not sure for how long. My mom says she thinks since 1pm, now it is 3:38pm!! What the hell?! I tried calling the spca yesterday, and this lady spoke to me, and said there is nothing they can do if he is inside the car. I don't think so, the poor dog has been trapped inside the car, I don't know if it is cold or hot or what in there....but with no heating or window open, probably no food or water. I live in Laval, Quebec, Canada. Is there anywhere I can call, SPCA is already useless...would it be okay to call the police...or what do I do?!?!? :|

No, I am not a busybody or a nosy neighbour. But are obviously an idiot. I care about animals, and I don't think it is fair that this guy is leaving his dog in his car, for not only 10 minutes, to a hour, but all day with nothing to do, no fresh air, just sitting in a cold car.

DON'T approach the neighbor. If this person is neglecting their animal for hours, Lord knows what they are doing that makes them lose all track of time (i.e. drugs or drinking). Call the police, tell them there is an abandoned dog trapped in a car by a careless owner and you believe the dog's in distress (must have a screaming bladder or a dry tongue by then) and you want them to send out an officer immediately. Tell them where the owner is visiting, and tell them you wish to be anonymous. You're right. People who neglect their pets are the lowest form of scum. When I think of how I have pampered by dog and my cats, I cringe when I hear these stories.

No window open?

That should be animal cruelty. I don't know what the laws are in Canada, but they should take that dog away from the man.

I say call the police; what do you have to lose?

In California, we call the police and they get in serious trouble. It's a very serious offense to leave an animal or child in the car, they are almost equally punished.

Don't they have animal cruelty laws in Canada? Find out & starting turning this idiot in!

Frankly, if I saw that I would break out his window and set the dog free, or take him to a friend's house. He doesn't deserve the love that only a dog can give.

the color i spill is green

i would call the police.

yes call the police for animal cruelty espesically if its a hot day the guy would be sure to be payed a fine

ummm well you could call the fire department and say there is a dog traped in a car. then maybe when they smash the window through for the dog the owner will learn their lesson?

call the police! in the lower 48 the police seriously frown on that and give tickets.

It is animal cruelty and the SPCA and the POLICE can do something about it.

Awww.
Try Ringing The Police And Maybe See What They Could Do. If Not Is There No Other Animal Rescue Centre Place You Could Ring?

I'd say call the police, whether its a hot day or not, the dog can still die as if it was a hot day in the sun. Its animal cruelty call the police, and see what they do!

ok so you need to find specific patterns in the time of day he comes back to the car. when he is at the car call either the police or the SPCA.

we had that same problem... call the police or animal control they will help.. leaving the dog in the car all day is animal cruelty

Approach your neighbor and tell them what you think, in a very nice way. It will probably work.

Call the police.

In the US I call the police on them and they deal with it.

i do not know the law in canada....call the local authorities to see if something can be done....i live in florida and it gets pretty hot here...once when we were at lunch the police came and got a guy from inside the restaurant we were at and took his dog that was in his car away....i dont know how people can stand to treat animals that way...a couple of minutes to go in and pay for gas is one thing but to go shopping or to eat lunch for an hour is cruel

Brittani

Yes, u can call the police, or the pound or something. I would call the police though. this is breaking the law so call the police. But then again, i wuold talk to the guy to streighten this out with him. (He might have problems or something)
Whatever works with u.

Find out what your police non-emergency number is and call that. They will most likely be able to help you. Especially because you don't really know what the weather will bring from day to day. March is always weird, with temperature fluctuations and all.

Joe

given the temperature in Quebec I think it's fine. If it was in a warm climate it would be illegal as it would be animal endangerment in the united states. but it depends on the climate and the owner would have to leave the window open to get fresh air if it was hot out.

I don't know what happens in Canada

farmgirl

I'd break the window and take the dog, some people shouldn't be allowed to have animals.

Neither Republican nor Democrat

I would steal the dog and find him someplace who actually cares about him

You sure are a nosy neighbor. If it isn't your dog then why don't you go worry about something else you busybody.
