So I have a neighbour that lives in a 2 up 2 down with 4 dogs and a 3 year old. I did hear her talking to her dad that she's actually got 5 which is more than she's legally allowed in her property from what I can gather, Her garden is riddled with dog faeces and everytime she opens her front door (she's attached to me) the smell is of something I cannot describe. She has apparently taken on 3 of these dogs (XL bullies) for her "partner" who is never there, and I personally think (hate to speculate) is using her. The dogs are never walked, never leave the house and bark constantly. She leaves them all inside with her child while she goes outside for cigarettes and brags about how when they try and bite her she "throws a bucket of water on them". She said because she doesn't have the room for them she keeps 2 in the downstairs toilet, two in the cupboard under the stairs (of which she has cut the top third off and they chewed through much of it). The other week she asked me to come and look at her tv because it looked a funny colour. And while I know our houses can't be pristine all the time or tidy, you couldn't see the floor for pooey dog prints and you couldn't see through the back doors. I have never seen or smelt anything like it. This woman needs a lot of help, and to be honest I fear for her child. Who do I contact and what do I do? I feel like there will be repercussions if I report as I'm the only person she's told about the situation she is living. Currently she's gone away for the weekend, she said someone is coming to tend to the dogs and I haven't seen or heard anyone, all I can hear are the dogs barking and crying ðŸ˜
