DNA Info reports that in the past month, two dogs have been attacked by pit bulls from Social Tees, the animal shelter on East Fourth Street. A pug-shih tzu mix suffered puncture wounds and lacerations on his neck, and the owner of a Shepherd mix predicts her veterinary bills will amount to between $2,000 and $4,000. Robert Shapiro, the owner of the no-kill shelter (which The Local profiled last year; see video above), says the responsibility lies with the pit bull owners.
