OHIO needs Animal Wardens educated in Dog Behavior and

knowledgable in breeds. Ohio needs to implemant awareness and
309 L. Picco NO
education about dogs to its citizens and it's animal control. Often times
dogs are misidentified because people are not familiar with breeds.

he's a pathetic excuse for a warden, he should a do way better job and
316 Vince yes
make sure he's taking the right dogs and not the innocent ones.

Tom Skeldon is a man who is going after Pitbulls JUST BECAUSE of

the BREED and it is out of control! People fear Pitbulls around our
community because HE(skeldon) showcases how many he has taken
and put down. Both my sons were bit by dogs witnin the past year that
were strays and NOT Pitbulls but you don't hear about that because IT
WAS NOT A PITBULL! I have had a Pitbull and he was loving and
loyal and a GREAT family member, so maybe the news should do
Cecilia
317 yes strories for the community that have Pitbuls or have had a Pitbull to
Hamilton
show the people that Pitbulls are NOT the animal to FEAR! The news
could help us Pitbull owners by educating the public and taken the fear
away about Pitbulls by showing them how loving and how loyal Pitbulls
REALLY ARE! Thank you for stepping up and helping all of us Pitbull
lovers who did not know how to go about getting Skeldon out of his
position. If any help is needed to get petition around i would be more
then willing to help.

fram boy in there he comes out and said no issues, and now the call
and vist have stopped,,

I have been harrassed by the dog warden for having pit bulls. My dogs
are 13 years old. I have had them since they were 5 weeks old. They
are loving, loyal dogs who are the loves of my family. We would be

devastated if they were taken away. I live every day with the shades
drawn and only let my dogs out during the day long enough to go potty.
I am tired of living like a prisoner for the protection of my sweet dogs!

Tom Skeldon thinks he can do whatever he wants. If he can get to my

dogs, he can take them. He can come on my property whenever he

Enforcing leaseh and no running at large laws would take care of any

Harris found it is regional not all over the country. Shelters have been found to
hold the real problems. Unclean, missing records, false records, and a
killing field of family pets.

I testified as an expert witness in the Tellings v. Toledo case. Mr.

336 Cindy Cooke No Skeldon represents the most out-dated thinking about shelter
management. Fire him and bring Toledo into the modern era!

I have never seen a "public" office run the way this clown runs the dog
warden office. When my son's dog was taken from a fenced in yard, I
had to go get the dog from the warden's office. I asked Mr. Skeldon
who makes the call on the breed of the dog adn he replied that he did.
When I asked what sort of training or background he had in this area, I

I have watched with horror while misinformation, downright mistruths

is a train wreck. THANK YOU to this group for standing up to this kind
Diane No, of abuse of office. I was an animal control officer for 20 years, and

Jessup thankfully! Skeldon makes me ashamed. I now train and donate detection dogs to
law enforcement. Because of the breeds I use, I would never consider
donating one to Lucas County. Please get someone with some
professinalism in this position. Thank you.

i believe any dog should have a chance and he doesnt give that.he

some one it should be the owner not the animals.
