My husband is active duty Army and we live near Hunter Army Airfeild in Savannah GA. Recently we were informed that families that live in on post housing will either have to move or "get rid of" numerouse breeds of dogs if they own such breeds. Now this does not directly affect our home because we do not live on post. We have a home in the country. But it is breaking my heart how many families and furry children are being torn apart over this. The breeds include but are not limited to the fallowing.
Akita
Boxer
Rottweiler
Stafford Shire Terrior
American Pit Bull
American Bull Dog
Any type of Terrior
Doberman
Saint Bernard
Chow
And these are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Now I understand the concern of having pets in general on post. And they did have a horrific incident in June where a toddler was killed by 3 pit bulls on post. However I beleive that their are many other ways of handling this situation. Tearing apart innocent families and or kicking innocent families and their furry companions off post is entirely too extreme.
Funny thing is...I was called by the housing office last week and they offered me on post housing because they now have a shortage of tenants and too many vacancies. Not to mention they just built brand new housing that is sitting empty now as well. I kindly declined by saying, " no thank you. We bought our home in the country because we have the most sweetest and beautiful furry babies that we could never part with. And we wanted to make sure we would never run into a problem such as what Hunter Army Airfeld residents and families are now having to endure. Good luck".
