Houston County rejects request for dog foster home | Pets | Macon.com

PERRY — A Houston County couple fostering rescued schnauzers at their home will have to downsize their efforts.

County commissioners on Tuesday denied the couple’s request to keep up to 12 dogs in their home at Valley Lake Drive. Milton and Sheri Goldin are part of Schnauzer Love Rescue, a group that finds homes for abandoned and unwanted miniature schnauzers.

After getting a complaint from a neighbor about the barking, Animal Control issued a warning June 11 that the couple needed to remove some of their dogs. The county allows a maximum of three.

That’s when the Goldins filed for a exception to have up to 12 dogs. Milton Goldin said they keep the dogs inside most of the time and have been using ultrasonic devices to control barking.
