October 20, 2019 (La Mesa) – La Mesa residents are voicing concern over the Happy Hearts German Shepherd Rescue after the city’s police were called at least 28 times to help round up escaped canines. Several people have reported being attacked by the dogs, ECM news partner 10 News reports after reviewing police records.
The report did not list the address of the rescue organization, which is run out of a private residence and lists the La Mesa Springs Shopping Center as the address on its website.
Residents told 10 News that the dogs have repeatedly jumped over a fence and have also escaped when a gate was repeatedly left unlocked.
The owner declined to be interviewed by 10 News but said she plans to move to a new site in North County. However, neighbors indicated this promise has been made before and not kept. They want the facility shut down before a child or anyone else suffers serious injury, unless the owner can find a way to house the rescue dogs in responsible manner with no further escapes.
