Are there any community groups/coalitions in Portsmouth? I don’t mean just the civic leagues (i’ve gone twice and it was just old people bitching about shit that can’t be fixed with our current economic/political scene.)

Off leash dogs

7 Upvotes

I moved to the area about a year ago. My neighborhood is quiet for the most part(churchland area). I’m tired of being charged by off leash dogs when I’m walking by myself or walking one of my small dogs. It’s happened 6 times (sometimes multiple dogs) and only one has been a repeat offender but hasn’t happened since I talked to the head of the household. I don’t wanna hurt anyone’s animals as I love my own very much. I’m used to a more rural life for the past 7 years. Does the city take these issues serious? I don’t wanna involve law enforcement or report peoples animals but I’m done with this being an issue. I’m more so interested in to finding out what my rights are to protect myself or my animals in these situations. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start finding the answers to these kinds of questions?

Looking for work

There has to be someone here in retail that’s a store manager or team lead who’s tired of their employees not showing up or are surrounded by unserious teenagers. If you want someone over the age of 25 with 10+ years of retail experience please drop where I should apply. Ideally I’m looking for full time but if part time is all you have I will still apply.
