    Meet Kane!

    Kane is a very special boy who came to us from an Arizona shelter. He is a beautiful white Dogo Argentino breed of dog that had been there for over 6 years. Kane’s history as told to us by the facility personnel was that he was aggressive, deaf, and has been seized in a suspected dog fighting ring. When we first met Kane, he was kennel lunging and barking. After taking Kane out of his kennel and into the shelter play yard, he was very leery, but after performing basic temperament testing we were able to see the jewel in him as he had no reaction. He enjoyed the play yard and the human interaction.

    20160416_hss_kane

    The first few days at the HSS, Kane was definitely shy, unsure about new people approaching his kennel, as are many dogs when they first enter a shelter environment. In Phoenix, Kane only felt comfortable around a few people who really took the initiative to work with him one-on-one, to build a close bond of trust and friendship. We took this information to heart and decided that our animal care associates, Antonio and Amy, and I –would be his champion team.

    Over the last few weeks we have worked with Kane on his basic dog manners to include leash training, handling skills, treat motivation and he has dramatically improved. We can approach his kennel and go inside his kennel and he has no food/treat guarding or aggression. He likes rewards, knows sit and roll over, loves the play yard equipment and can walk on leash or harness. He has not ripped up a single item in his kennel and loves his ears scratched.

    Here at the HSS we believe in patience and giving every adoptable animal a chance at a forever loving home. We knew that behind all of the years in a florescent lit kennel and years of possible dog fighting, there was a sweet boy in there that deserved a second chance. He will be available for adoption sometime in April.

    Please call the HSS to find out more about Kane or see him on our website at: www.HumaneSocietyofSedona.org. Chelsea Cohen, our Animal Care Director or Antonio Lopez, our Animal Care Lead are available to answer any questions you may have about Kane.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
