Hoping to avoid a court date scheduled for tomorrow, lawyers for the Nijjer family have made one last attempt to have Rottweilers Paris and Axle released by making a final settlement offer that includes a long list of requirements for the dogs and the family.
The dogs are facing a destruction order after the city deemed them dangerous and Axle proceeded to bite, or nip, a construction worker last October.
They have contentiously been held at the city pound for close to six months and have faced health problems since, according to veterinarian records.
Among the things the Nijjers would agree to in exchange for the dogs' release are:. Have the dogs undergo intensive professional retraining by a city chosen animal behaviourist. Have Prabjot Nijjer attend dog training classes. Allow periodic checkups by the city for three years. Muzzle the dogs at all times. Sign an indemnity agreement, indemnifying the city for any possible future incidents.
. Visit Henry Anderson elementary (the Nijjer's neighbours) to educate children about the dogs. Agree to a financial penalty of $3,000.
