This is what is set to start happening at Cumberland County Animal Control in Fayetteville , NC . There is a breed ban set to go into affect Monday the 5th of December all Dobermans, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Pitbulls, Mastiffs(all bully breeds), Akitas and Huskies. These dogs will be held for the mandatory 72 hrs and then will be killed, they are not going to be given a chance to be adopted. If the dog is an owner turn in then it will be killed the second it walks into the back. Cumberland county`s reason for this is not wanting to be held liable for these breeds and the possible bite from them to the public after adopted from the shelter. Well I guess they shouldn`t adopt out chihuahuas, doxies or any dog for that matter(no offense to the chi`s or doxies I love them too.) A simple waiver would solve this I`m sure. We need to flood them and let them know that this is n ot the answer. Contact info on the commissioners is below as is Dr John Lauby(the one that hired the gunman to shoot the Fayetteville dogs) and the mayors info is there too.

Thank you,
Maureen Lee

Nancy I have seen this on several Dobe boards, and it isn't accurate. This town IS proposing a breed ban, but NOTHING is in effect yet. There is a meeting on Dec. 5th, they are not going to start killing dogs that day. A DPCA Rescue Member confirmed this, also Pinch of Heaven Dobe Rescue in TN personally spoke to the Mayor who said he does not think it will pass at the meeting due to public outcry. Still worth writing POLITE letters/emails. Here is the reply the Mayor sent to my email:

Thank you for your note. Your concerns should be directed to the Cumberland County Animal Control Board. The City of Fayetteville is not involved with animal control in our community. A Press Release from the county is included below.

Animal Control Department

Cumberland County Animal Control does not have a breed ban in place at this time, nor is one set to go into effect on Monday, December 5.

The Animal Control Board met on October 3 and discussed a proposal to limit breeds put up for adoption. The Animal Control Board decided to recommend limiting the adoption of the following breeds:

Rottweilers

American Staffordshire Terriers

Pit bulls

Chows

Presa Canarios

Any mix of the breeds above

The policy has not been implemented at this time and has not been brought before the Board of Commissioners for approval.

The Animal Control Board will meet again December 5 at 6 p.m. in the conference room at Animal Control. Any recommendation from this advisory board would need to be sent to the Commissioners’ Policy Committee and then the Board of Commissioners for approval.

They can be reached at (910) 321-6852
