Adams Board Puts Conditions on 'Nuisance' Dogs

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Two dogs have been declared "nuisances" and their owners ordered to constrain them.
 
Powers Street neighbors say Hank and Dweezil have been running through their yards, scaring children and digging up gardens.
 
Their owners, Robert and Robin Mazzantini, objected that the dogs were friendly but difficult to keep contained. Hank, who's 2, has chewed through his cable runs but Dweezil, 10 or 11, is slow, they said.
 
"I haven't heard about the dogs attacking anybody," said Robert Mazzantini. "They don't have a mean bone in their body."
 
Animal Control Office Kim Witek said the problems date to a single incident in 2020; but beginning in 2023, the incidents have escalated. The Mazzantinis have racked up $1,100 in fines.
 
"All the neighbors are asking is that he keep the dogs in his yard," she said.
 
After hearing testimony at a public hearing on Tuesday, the board voted unanimously to require the owners to provide a plan for fencing the animals within 30 days and to keep them on leash at all times until the fencing is complete.
