Welfare checks
Animal control officers promised to conduct welfare checks on the Anderson property, raising Mary’s hopes.
Officer Sanchez confirmed that they would start with an unannounced visit to ensure everything was accounted for.
Mary thanked him and hung up, feeling slightly better. A few days later, she received a call from Officer Sanchez with updates. “
We didn’t find anything wrong on our first visit, but we’ll keep checking,” he assured her.
