Field Report
Arrived at location and spoke to the complainant about the dogs as I did not see them when I arrived. He stated they
are at the end of the fenced in area where the fawn’s body is. I walked down and saw the two (2) black ones (looked to
be Sheppard type mixes) and the one closest showed its teeth then barked at me aggressively. I walked further down
to the corner and the last dog was there that was a male GSD/Malinois mixed. The complainant stated that he
believes the fawn was stuck in the fence and the dogs got to it but was not 100% sure if it was already deceased or if
the dogs did it. He stated that where the water meets the fence, there is an opening that dogs could get through. I let
him know that I was waiting for one other person to show up due to the demeanor of the dogs and safety and he
understood. While we waited, he stated that he thinks he knows where the dogs live as he drives around the area and
lives near the possible House and also described where they worked at. I pulled it up on my phone and showed him
and he showed me the general location. I called Ofc Wormuth who was in route to let him know that there might be a
possible owner of the dogs and that I was headed that way. Drove over there and saw what I thought was the possible
home and the gate was open enough that a dog could slip out. I saw a neighbor pulling from one of the homes and
spoke to them and asked them questions about the dogs and if they could verify the home for me and also sated
where they work. I honked the horn several times as I looked like the front door was open but no one came out. I
looked up the location of where they worked and left a message and called back agian with no answer. Someone
called back and I spoke to them and described the dogs to them then let them know the gate was open and they
stated they weren’t sure. I asked if they could come to the park to verify if they are there dogs or not due to the
demeanor they were presenting and they stated that they were on the way. I called Ofc Wormuth to let him know that I
have a possible owner on the way so that they could retrieve their dogs. I arrived back and the possible owners
showed up and the dogs demeanors changed instantly as soon as they pulled up. I asked them to get their dogs and
then I would need to speak to them about what happened, the claims and what will happen going forward. They went
and got their dogs and loaded them up. I asked them to give me all the information on the dogs and then explained to
them that I would be issuing a citation for the dogs off property. I asked who would be getting it and they told me who
and then I asked if I could mail it or come back down on Monday to get it signed. They stated to mail it and that would
be fine.
Animal owners were nice enough to move the fawn to the road and we called the landfill to pick up.

Dogs are as follows:
“Duke” M(N) 3 yr Bel Mal/GSD
