PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their dogs unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place. Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately. And, though we would never advocate violence, the law does allow for homeowners to protect their property ...including their pets ... by any means necessary.
