On Tuesday, the council will consider Maria Anderson’s appeal of the vicious animal abatement involving her two dogs, Bane and Bandit.
City documents show that the city has received numerous complaints about Anderson’s dogs from February 2020 through earlier this month.
The complaints include the dogs running loose, killing ducks, rabbits, chickens and cats, and breaking through a neighbor’s fence and acting aggressively toward an officer.
A third dog belonging to Anderson, named “Cissy,” was hit and killed by a car in July while running loose.
The hearing is expected to include several witnesses for Lake County Animal Care and Control and Lakeport Police, and witnesses on behalf of Anderson.
