I've told my story here, once before, but ... need to bring it up again.
I need your help.
Seriously.
Please read the story in the link, attached.
Yes: It's all true. Yes: I've been sick for about three years, and simply cannot get my health back. No: They're not sure what's wrong with me, and I'm seeing some of the best of the best. Yes: They took all of our money. Yes: The emotional toll it's taken is overwhelming, to say the least. I'm lost.
Please share/re-post this article, if you will. I want the story to go viral. If it can help prevent this from happening to somebody else, I want it to. If the story can get in front of somebody who can help my wife and me, well ... I'm confident that person will know what to do, and how to do it.

I'm not trying to be a dick but I've never lived in a quiet community my entire life. From the gunshots of downtown Denver, to the suburbs of boulder, to the gunshots of LA, I've experienced my share of low income housing.
This is an extremely long article and it took a wile to read the entire thing. First of all its ****ed up that that you had to pay such major court fees due to your issue, however, Its hard to say if a dogs being mistreated or is just a bad apple. Wile i don't doubt your story the laws, on dog treatment are extremely lax. When i was living in Lafayette our neaibor would leave there dog out in the snow or any other element every night. The dog would howl for hours in pain, as a major animal sympathizer i felt his pain however i knew i was powerless to stop the abuse. I personally have dogs that where found stray.
This is a metaphor for our entire country, you can hear the pains of USA no matter where you go, however any normal person is completely powerless to stop the economic downturn that's currently happening to our country and will continue to happen in the foreseeable future.
OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT. BIG SURPRISE!!
Calling your back yard a Gulag is insulting to many of us low income apt dwelling hard workers.
Maybe to cheer you up your backyard patio from the picture is larger than my entire apt. I hear the train every time it passes can almost feel it because its only 30 feet away from my apt. My bed vibrates every time it passes. And i pay over 750/ month to live here.
However this should go viral as much as any other news story. someone got ****ed in the US.... and no one cares until it happens to them. Everyone now a days is F'd.
I recommend buying ear plugs and putting your house on the market. Nothing will happen unless YOU take personal action, and no, that doesn't mean complaining to the government.
Not much help is going to come if this stays in the Fort Collins forum, so I'm moving it to the Real Estate forum as the OP's issues will benefit from a wider audience of people who can focus on the issues, not the location.
I hope the OP finds some help and relief to their situation.

Not to sound rude but I also lived in a situation where I lived very close to neighbors and one eventually brought home a dog. Our lots were only .2 acres so we were REALLY close and they put the dog's pen next to the side of the fence that we shared. It was also on the side where my newborn and 2 year old slept. At first things were fine but eventually they left the dog in the pen ALL the time. They grew tired of him. Well he barked and barked and barked. They did finally find him a new home but I almost bought a device on the internet that would emit a high pierce that only the dog could hear. I could install it on my side of the fence. I would have gone that route to start with.
I don't get something. I know hindsight is 20/20 and sometimes it's easy for someone else to look at itand say what you should have done. If I'm off base I'm sorry. But, if you are able to pursue the matter and contact people and spend a ton of money on a barking dog lawsuit(which seems to me ridiculous) I would think you also have the ability to sell the house, pay movers and move. It would be cheaper and less stressful. Also, now that the offending dog is gone I think the proof is also unless you have it on tape.
You are internalizing a lot of stress and not letting go, even when, at the end of your saga it says that those people have moved out. So what do you want now?
Please let it go. This kind of obsessing will lead to more illness. Perhaps you should see a therapist who can help you deal with stress better, before you damage yourself further.
We can complain about our neighbors by name on here?
I wouldn't advise it.
