SNOHOMISH COUNTY – Dog Poisoning Alert

The Autumn Meadows Neighborhood Watch has notified its members about deliberate poisonings of dogs in Snohomish County. According to an Autumn Meadows resident who is active with an online dog owners group, there have been multiple poisoning incidents throughout the area. Incidents have also occurred at Willis Tucker Park.

Apparently, someone is leaving meatballs with rat poison for dogs to find and eat. At least one dog is dead, and tests proved that it ate rat poison. Other incidents include poisoned meat being thrown into yards. In several incidents, homeowners have found the meat before their dogs found them.

Autumn Meadows Neighborhood Watch encourages all dog owners to watch for meat that is out of place and to report any suspicious activity to 911.
