3 Dogs Poisoned At Police Officer's Home In Napa

Three dogs, including a police canine, were poisoned in Napa last week and a $4,000 reward is being offered for information about the suspect.

Police Sgt. Michael Hensley said the dogs were found around 11 a.m. Nov. 3 at a police officer's home showing signs of poisoning. Two of the dogs, German short hairs, are the personal dogs of the officer. The third, a German Shepherd, is a police dog.

According to Hensley, all three dogs were transported to a veterinarian's office but one of the German short hairs died on the way there.

The other two dogs were treated and are in fine condition, he said.

Although police are still working to determine who poisoned the dogs, Hensley said the suspect may have used snail bait.

A reward of $4,000 that came from donations is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible, Hensley said.

Anyone with information can call the Napa Police Department at (707) 257-9223 and ask for the investigations bureau.
