'I‘heManager for the animal control service soon to be responsible for Richmond Hill, Art Moorecroft. said Kennel lnn “can handle the dogs. but we can’t handle the public”. He was referring to the flagrant way people refuse to keep dogs under control, as specified by the bylaw of the town‘ understand, if even the best trained dog in the world causes an automobile accident. the owner of the animal is responsible for damages. uPeople take it per- sonally.“ he said, when one of the trucks ap- prehend a dpg. » Kennel Inn, on Yonge Street in Aurora. was recently awarded the contract to patrol the streets in the towns of Vaughan and Richmond Hill. looking for dogs running loose. Mr: Moorecroft ~said peqple dqn'_l_ seem _to _ “They think we‘re picking on them, but we're just trying to help." Dogs picked up by Kennel Inn are taken to the shelter where they are held for up to five working days before being put up for “adoption”. Mr. Moorecroft said in the summer months they could accommodate up to 100 dogs and cats in in- door and outdoor runs on the premises, but during the winter the number drops to about 40 animals which can be housed. YOU’VE GOTTA BE TOUGH TO BE TOPS. Looking after people’s pets is the easy part of Art Moorecroft's job â€"- it's the owners he finds it difficult to understand. Mr. Moorecroft is People tough, though C-4 4. THE LIBERAL. Wednesday Monday mornings are And get the Midas Guarantee. Controlling animals easy, manager says 9190 Yonge St., Richmond Hill Now that‘s a combination that's tough to beat. You get the Midas Guarantee on pads and linings (try to match that somewhere else) and $5 off a price that's about as rock-bottom as you'll find anywhere. See your Midas man to-day. He's a trained specialist in brake services. and he'll give you a firm price before any work is done. Gel a break on brakes. Kennel Inn will also supply an emergency service to the two towns as part of the contract. Owners of dogs with tags can be easily located by calling the municipal office said Mr. Moorecroft, adding that these embarrassed owners “come up with all the lame excuses in the world" of why their dog was running at large. About 95 percent of the dogs with tags are picked up. but only about 60 percent of dogs without tags are claimed. Usually emergency calls are for dogs hit by cars at night. said the kennel manager, but during the five years of operation they have answered calls to retrieve everything from baby birds without feathers to a bear and a deer. Most calls. about wildlife are for raccoons in the attic or skunks in the garbage. Mr. Moorecroft suspects people come ‘from the city to drop unwanted ’dogs in the "country" where they feel they will be looked after. the busiest at Kennel lnn. caused by telephone calls and new residents. This makes the most common call to Kennel Inn. one for picking up abandoned dogs or at least strays running loose. Sixty per cent of the animals brought in are without tags. Pads and linings are guaranteed tor as long as you own your car. This Guarantee covers North American cars and most imports.

Drivers for Kennel Inn take training courses from a vet. the police and representatives from the Department of Veterinary Services in such things as what to do in case of injuries. new diseases. what to watch out for and how they stand with the law which effects animal control. One of the greatest rewards of the animal control business. said Mr, Moorecroft, is to see an animal and its owner reunited. but he still maintained it would be easier all around if pet oWners would learn to keep their, pets under control. Right now Kennel Inn serves the municipalities of Aurora. King, Bradford and Whitchurch-Stoufâ€" fville with experienced drivers in three radio controlled trucks and a staff of three to answer calls. feed. care for and clean the animals as well as do maintenancephores on the buildings and property. He is also hoping to find a veterinary surgeon in Richmond Hill who would be willing to work with animals injured in the area. otherwise hurt animals would have to be transported all the way to Nobleton. the office of the present vet. Mr. Moorecroft said with the addition of the lwo towns he expects to add three more drivers and trucks. and one more kennel person. 889-9977 in the Barrie area 7 resorts are open to the public daily.
