re: Lakeside Villas Complex: Dead Dog In Lake ( WBRZ is covering tonight at 10)

As a community committed to ensuring our residents feel happy, comfortable and safe in their apartment homes, this is not a reflection of the level of service we aim to provide at Lakeside Villas. We are coordinating with our staff and have a company on the way to properly take care of the dog’s body.

As a community that not only seeks to provide inviting apartments to our residents but also a happy home to their pets, we are saddened that something like this happened to a companion animal on our property. In addition to safely recovering the dog’s body, we are working to provide proper burial and seeking information on the dog’s owner. We will also make a donation to the Capital Area Welfare Society to help provide care for area pets and inform members of the community about responsible companion animal ownership.

Whether you’re a resident of our community, a pet lover, or just a respectful human being, this is a disappointing situation. One that we are taking seriously and working to ensure that issues of this magnitude – as well as more simple, everyday requests – are handled quickly and thoroughly.

Message board threads don’t always end with solutions to a problem, but in this case, we’re glad we were able to find out about these issues and react accordingly. We don’t shy away from constructive criticism and will use the feedback to inform our management at the property moving forward.
