CSO REMINDER - DO YO

CSO REMINDER - DO YOU KNOW WHEN CSO'S CAN PICK UP ANIMALS?

1) CSO’s can only pickup aggressive dogs that have bitten or tried to bite a person or animal.
2) A dog or cat that is life threateningly injured.

A dog roaming at large (off of its property) is usually within a few mile radius of their home. The owner may be near by and actively looking. If you pick up a stray or contain one, make sure you are able to harbor the animal for a time. If able, please take the dog to be checked for a microchip.The Humane Society has a 3-6 month wait list to surrender an animal or take in a stray.

Good to know.

If a dog is dangerous, do what you gotta do.

How come your saying they can’t take dogs but yet I have seen the Yakima police believe other people when they don’t listen to the actual owner and still take them away like I don’t see that’s right especially if they have never hurt a soul. 

I dont appreciate you guys using our dog as a picture to explain your work. I dont mind that yall handle situations but i dont remember any officer nor anyone from your department telling us you would use our dog in the picture

Yeah I called numerous times about a dead dog in my neighbors yard and she still has dogs chained up out there. It’s disgusting. How was it legal for her to own an animal when she starved one to death?

I believe I seen him last night at about 8:45 heading west on old naches hwy, he was walking on the side of the road

Brian D. Liebe also what do you mean missing persons are typically adults and hes been missing for 3 days why cant a missing persons report be made other than being a child?

Thank you Yakima Police Department for all your time and effort to find my brother ❤️ Much Love

Have seen this dog at Tall Men's on 5th Ave with a homeless person in the mornings over the last few weeks.

Is the dog friendly with people, kids and other dogs ?

Pendleton blanket dang.. maby it has a owner who might of got sick n left it behind...

I am sooo grateful that YPD Community Service Officers are actually devoting some time to ANimal control and protection

Thank you, Yakima Police Department! Dumping a dog is against the law. We need to hold people responsible. Laws are in place for a reason and people will follow them if there are consequences 👏🏼

That’s a homeless persons dog he is always walking around with that same dog.

Do you have the dog? This dog would come the house. I am like 90% sure the “owners” live off of 48th by Club 48th. This dog was super sweet just scared. I hope it’s safe!!

Are there cameras near by?

One down and thousand still to rescue. More of these posts and attention to this situation need to happen.

I just don't understand. If you can't take care of them, no matter the reason, ask for help. They are not disposable. 💕 Thank you Yakima Police Department

Is it adoptable?

I would be more than willing to foster this pup, if possible and until said case is resolved.

This looks like a dog that was picked up by animal control at Roosevelt Elementary this week.

Not saying this is right either, BUT, back before I was born, people had a habit of tying out a dog they found as loose and running around to keep dog safe for owner to come and collect. As I belong to many community groups and lost and found pet groups in many states, I have seen COUNTLESS lost dogs found and put in dog parks or tied out by STRANGERS to the dog, only hoping to keep dog safe because they have no clue or ability to do anything else.

I saw this baby with a homeless man on 1st street 2-3 days ago

Please stop hurting baby's 😢 💔

The owner homeless takes really good care of this baby he usually has a coat on him and blankets so I’m worried where his owner went

Poor baby 😢

The poor baby. If it was a homeless person he probably just could not take care of it any longer. Very sad. So glad he's safe

Is that dog ok?

Poor doggie 😢

Idk who did this but if she needs a safe warm place to sleep I got it.
