Howling dog in Crystal Palace Road (?)


Sue

Recommended Posts

A dog apparently left in a garden has been howling (and occasionally barking) all morning today. It's still going on and it's after 1.30pm now.


Apart from being evidently distressed, it is distressing having to listen to it.


I think it's in Crystal Palace Road, between the intersections with North Cross Road/Upland Road and Whateley Road/Underhill Road.


I've heard it before, but never for as long as this.


Has anybody else heard it? Is there anyone I can/should report it to? Council? RSPCA? If I knew what house it was I would go round there, but I don't.

I phoned the RSPCA and after hanging on for ages on a premium phone line listening to various recorded messages about such things as baby birds and frog spawn, was told that because I didn't know the exact location the RSPCA didn't have the resources to do anything about it, and even though the dog sounded distressed it might not be !!


Anyway, they told me to phone the council's Environmental Health department, which I have done. They think the dog has already been reported but that nothing has been done about it yet, so they are going to "remind" the relevant person.


Poor dog. Why do people have dogs if they can't take care of them?


And Pongo, aren't you thinking of Howling Wolf ?? :))

If that's the case, the owner must trip on the dog bowl quite regularly, as this is not the first time I've heard similar howling, just the longest :-S

That poor dog had stopped for a while, now it's howling again, sounds really really distressed now, if anyone else hears it, would be great if you could phone Southwark Council environmental health department too, maybe if several people phone (apparently there's already been me and one other) they might treat this with a bit more urgency (6)

I had thought of that, but it's the distress to the animal I'm concerned about rather than the noise per se - though round about 4pm I did have to go and find some earplugs .....


But only because I find it upsetting to hear it ....


I think the people I spoke to at Southwark might be the noise team - it was the antisocial behaviour lot, which presumably would cover noise - but they said the dog warden was dealing with it.


If it continues I'll have to phone them again. I was a bit surprised the RSPCA wouldn't do anything, they seem to have sufficient money available to send me unwanted leaflets!

    • We ended up getting a large garden shed for our build, it did the job and kept it after to store the garden and sports stuff. If you need off site storage, most of the storage companies do introductory offers, such as £1 for first month and its generally cheaper to book this online to avoid the admin fee - check the small print as most charge a lock fee and compulsory insurance fees. Consider how often you'll need to access your items as the cost is generally higher for more accessible storage where you can visit as you please, such as Suregard and Big Yellow, and cheaper for the companies where you fill a storage container and they take it away to a remote storage location. Hope this helps

It’s rare to find someone so committed to quality work and customer satisfaction – highly recommend Leon for any electrical needs!
