Battle over barking dog ends after owner gives up pet

Battle over barking dog ends after owner gives up pet
SHARE
After a prolonged dispute over a barking dog in Canterbury, a resolution has finally been reached. Neighbours who were bothered by Nico, a Staffy American and French bulldog mix, barking and howling at a property on McDonald St in Ashburton, can now breathe a sigh of relief as Nico has been voluntarily handed over to the Ashburton District Council for rehoming with the assistance of DogWatch in Christchurch.

Christine Sanderson, a neighbour, expressed her happiness at the news, calling it ‘wonderful.’ Another neighbour, who chose to remain anonymous, also shared in the joy, hoping that Nico finds a loving family that can provide the attention he needs.

Ian Hyde, the group manager of compliance and development at the district council, revealed that the offer to rehome Nico was made to the dog’s owner, Sami Palavi, as a way to bring an end to the ongoing issue. Palavi, who is moving to a rental property in Christchurch where pets are not allowed, accepted the offer despite his sadness at parting with Nico.

Both Palavi and the district council maintain that Nico did not cause a noise nuisance with excessive barking and howling, despite numerous visits by council staff and animal control officers to monitor noise levels in the neighborhood.

In January, Christine was trespassed by the council’s animal control contractor for playing a recording of the dog outside the business premises in an attempt to prompt action from the council. The issue of alleged inaction by the council is currently under review by the Ombudsman.

As news of Nico’s relocation spread, neighbours like Christine were surprised to learn of the dog’s departure but remained hopeful for a positive outcome for Nico in his new home. The saga of the barking dog in Ashburton seems to have finally reached a conclusion, bringing relief to all involved.
