Public Statement from Mayor Kirk at the City of Obetz
The City of Obetz has completed its investigation into the recent concerns regarding the passing of a dog while in the care of a pet sitter. After a thorough review, we have determined that all relevant events surrounding this case occurred outside our jurisdiction.
As a result, the appropriate agencies for further investigation are the City of Columbus and the Franklin County Humane Society.
To ensure transparency, the full investigative report will be available as a public record this Friday. Anyone wishing to obtain a copy may do so through the proper records request process.
For any further inquiries or to report additional concerns, please contact the City of Columbus authorities or the Franklin County Humane Society directly.
We appreciate the community’s engagement and trust as we work to uphold public safety and animal welfare.
