HELP ME SAVE MY FOSTER PETS!!!
Contact the author of the petition
You didn't mention Lani, did he get adopted too? Are there other rescues in your town that you can use as examples re: the number of animals they keep in a residential area to help your cause? Is that why they are pulling your license? Will our signatures have any influence if we don't live in your town or can one appear in person at your next court date to give testimonials? Do you feel this would help? I'd speak for the well-being of the dogs.
Re:
Lani is visiting friends :O). I am going to chat with an attorney this week to discuss my options. Today I am making public (which is already public) contact info for the Mayor, Deputy Mayor (who is also my Alderman and is apparently a dog lover) another Alderman and the city manager. Folks can contact them on their own then. I am also sending info out to the streets where the tick borne diseases animals were infected in Wood Dale. This is a SERIOUS issue- I never used to worry about ticks in my own yard and with Mikey coming home infected and sick 2 weeks ago- a BIG concern. All documentation I have from the village still states that I needed to get down to 7 pets- 3 per village ordinance and 4 per IL Dept of Ag license. I was told in court by the evil prosecutor that I needed to get down to 3. I DID ask them to put that in writing and nada. Lisa
Lisa is a selfless caretaker of castaway animals. Please do not punish the animals as well as her by denying her her life's passion. Please have some sympathy for the dogs and cats that are so generously in her care.
I wish there were more people out there like her.
Thank You.
My family has adopted two English Setters from Illinois Birddog Rescue. Both were infected with Lyme Disease & Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever. We fostered 5 different dogs between February and September of 2012, when we adopted our male setter. Ms. Spakowsky's research is important, and helpful in bringing awareness of these dreadful diseases and their consequences to the public. Lyme & RMSF have reached epidemic proportions, and the CDC has not recognized it. The medical community (both animal & human) are not educated on the severity of these diseases, and most are clueless of just how ocmmon they are. Why didn't Wood Dale do something about this 12 years ago when it started? Dogs bark. Big dogs bark loudly. If there is more than one dog in the neighborhood they bark in communication. If you don't like dogs that bark, you shouldn't move into such a neighborhood. With as much pet abuse and neglect as we have in this country; why make such a big stink about a small part of the solution?

Thanks to Lisa's hard work, I am now the owner of a beautiful setter boy, JT. WIthout her efforts, he would surely have been put to sleep. I'm confident that through the other comments you realize what a compassionate professional she is. I would think that there is a friendly resolution to this issue. Not being from the Wood Dale area, I am unfamiliar with your processes but I would think that a variance or something similar could be a solution. From a PR perspective, this story has immeasurable negative consequences for Wood Dale. Lisa, please know that I am ever so grateful for all you do and I hope this is resolved rationally. Shame on the neighbor that didn't have the courage to speak to you directly.
