I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I believe most Puna neighborhoods seem to have a dog issue. Including Leilani Estates!! Not sure about town neighborhoods but police response would certainly be improved. To give you an idea of how lax things are, we have a neighbor whose pitbull climbs the fence and the neighbor is aware but claims there is nothing he can do about so...it isn't uncommon to see the dog outside the fence. As for the police, ha! This summer robbers were casing my neighbors house and even after a description of the uninvited "guests", along with car description and plates the cops couldn't come out here. Oh, and my neighbors refrigerator was stolen. Dogs, thieves and roosters are normal to Puna. Renting where you think you want to buy can't be encouraged enough.
