At her Antelope home, Scott has sectioned off a portion of her backyard and converted her garage into a “dog room” with a large kennel for overnight guests. One wall displays photos of every dog she has trapped. But mostly the wayward canines go straight to the shelter in the community where she captured them. “I’m not in the business of rehoming dogs. I’m a trapper,” she says. “And I’m obligated to take them to the shelter because that’s the first place the owner is going to look for them.” The canines will receive medical care, including spay or neuter. Scott immediately posts all dogs on lost and found and social media sites.
“If I trap them at night, I bring them here because the shelter is closed. Or if they are really difficult, stressed out, I’ll bring them here to decompress. Once they stop nipping or cowering and hiding—start wagging their tail when I go in to feed them—then I know they’re fine, and they will make it at the shelter. “The forgotten ones are my favorites—that nobody can catch. And I stay until the end. I’ve never quit a dog.”

the ones who do their jobs, keep a low profile and know when to leave. I feel bad for members who stick around so long voters get tired of them, such as Steve Cohn, Heather Fargo and the late Robbie Waters. I worry about those who think they can play God and fix humanity’s eternal suffering, such as Steinberg and Valenzuela. Basically, the city’s job is to maintain a reasonable veneer of public safety, collect the garbage, make toilets flush, mow the grass in parks and fill potholes. If restless councilmembers conquer those mountains and need something bigger, looming in the dreamy halflight is always the Curtis Park Village Fuel Center. R.E.
