CSO REMINDER - DO YOU KNOW WHEN CSO'S CAN PICK UP ANIMALS?
1) CSOβs 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.

Things have sure changed a lot ….
If a dog is dangerous, do what you gotta do.
Good to know.
So this means you don't pick up the ones where multiple complains have been made? Such as disturbing the noise ordinance in the city? Makes sense.
I am concerned by the disrespect shown my family. We never were asked for permission, nor did we offer permission for your dept to post photos of our dog. This causes unnecessary hurt to us, who have just lost a dog we had for over 5 years. Please remove this post and use only photos you have permission for.
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. οΏΌ
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?
***UPDATE 9am- Christopher has been located. Thank you all who shared the post.***
