The City of Inkster welcomed new Animal Control Officer Angie Potter last month. In her first weeks on the job Potter, with more than 20 years of rescue experience and animal education, has demonstrated her commitment to the animals in Inkster and eagerness to educate and assist pet owners, police officials said. Potter has already saved and rehomed seven stray dogs and assisted with the rescue of a baby deer, a raccoon and an injured hawk in the city. In addition, the new officer saved a dog with a bone lodged in its throat, rescued and saved a puppy with Parvo and saved a dog on the verge of death with a bucket stuck on its head. She also saved a dog trapped under a downed tree during the last storm in the city. Officials said Potter has resources available to city pet owners and is planning a low cost vaccine event next spring.
