Animal Control

So unfortunately there is no animal control in our city past around 5pm so for the most part patrol officers have to take care of humane complaints now.....

The first call I got out of the gate was a hit dog by a car. I got on scene and the poor little fella was hit bad by a car. He was in the grass dying. He was agonal breathing which is not a good thing. I was worried to approach him because you never know what you are going to get...they could be protective and bite you. Luckily I was able to scoop him up. He was still breathing in the car but by the time I got to the animal hospital he passed away....it was sad pulling the big dog out of the car....I can only hope that he didn't suffer too much pain...I can handle alot of nasty things when it comes to people but I'm a softie for dogs. Really bummed me out.

Then I got dispatched to a similar thing but it was an injured cat....I showed up and there was the little guy in the bushes...his paw was completely mangled and he couldnt hardly move....I tried getting closer to pick it up and combat wounded crawled into the bushes through a patch of thorn stickers..............I wasnt able scoop him up and it just sucked going after that dog call....bummer
