Coco is a beautiful sweet jack russel terrier who was rescued from a shelter in New York and moved with her new family a year ago to La Salle, Now, because of only ONE neighbours complaint the RM of Macdonald if forcing the family to get rid of Coco. The RM of Macdonald has overlooked the 2 dog by-law for many families, however, due to the harassment by this one neighbour to both Coco's family and the municipality, the RM has choosen NOT TO DEFEND Coco.

The feedback from the community has served as a powerful reminder that fairness matters more than local bureaucracy. I am currently organizing the correspondence from all of you to present a clear picture of the situation to the officials at the local office.

Seeing the momentum grow around Coco reminds me that a community is defined by how it protects its most vulnerable members. This groundswell of support serves as a powerful reminder to the municipality that our neighbors value compassion over bureaucratic pressure.

Coco is a rescue she deserves to stay with the people who love her. Stop the harassment.

The RM of Macdonald needs to grow a spine and stop letting one person bully them into doing something so cruel.

This is just ridiculous. One person should not be able to ruin a families life like this. Leave the dog alone.

Ridiculous that the RM is listening to a known troublemaker over everyone else. Let poor Coco stay home.

Heartbreaking. Imagine having to give up your dog because of a bitter neighbor. Do the right thing help them keep her.
