Sheriff's Report: Dog rescue operation; Warning to CCL boat owners
This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center Wednesday, June 16.
===
In this week's Sheriff's Report, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse spoke about an operation to recover around 30 dogs from a location on the east end of the county Wednesday and gave a warning to Cedar Creek Lake boat owners.
I. Stats (:35)
The podcast starts as it always does with the stats and this week shows the Sheriff's Office has been busy. The jail booked in 110 individuals over the past week and there are 434 currently in custody.
II. Dogs (1:28)
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division, patrol deputies, and the Athens Animal Rescue Shelter were on the east end of the county to recover about 30 dogs on Wednesday. The dogs are mixed breed.
Sheriff Hillhouse said it wasn't a breeder, but rather a pet owner who wound up with too many.
"Basically, it just spun out of control," he said. "They weren't neutered."
The Sheriff said most animal control cases in the county are like this and not usually breeders.
The best way to avoid this situation is to neuter your animals.
Sheriff Hillhouse praised the Athens Animal Rescue Shelter for their help and urged listeners to support the Shelter. You can do that by following their Facebook page and responding when they run short on supplies.
III. Boat Security (9:43)
Sheriff Hillhouse said his office has recently received reports of boats being vandalized on Cedar Creek Lake. He said it appeared someone was trying to steal the boats.
He said owners often tie their boats up after using them and never check on them again until the next time they are ready to go out on the water. That makes the boats an easy target, and makes it difficult for deputies to determine when a crime was committed.
"Check your boats every day," he said, "make sure nothing is missing."
Sheriff Hillhouse said the Sheriff's Office is patrolling the lake looking for suspicious activity, but he wanted to warn owners of what is happening.
"Please watch your property because there are people out there right now trying to take it and vandalize it," he said.
