🐾 What an exciting Friday morning!🐾

One of our sweet shelter dogs found his forever home today! ❤️🏡

He was adopted by a wonderful family where he’ll get to spend his days going on hikes, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying plenty of new adventures. 🥾🌲🐶

There’s nothing better than watching one of our animals leave the shelter with a family who is excited to give them the life they deserve. We are so happy for this handsome boy and his new family!

Happy adoption day! Here’s to many miles, muddy paws, and amazing adventures ahead! 🐾💙

🎉🐾 Congratulations, CSO Supervisor Laycie Coker & CSO Katelyn Fricke! 🐾🎉

The Rangely Police Department is proud to congratulate Community Service Officer Supervisor Laycie Coker and Community Service Officer Katelyn Fricke on the amazing accomplishment of becoming Certified Animal Control Officers!

Laycie and Katelyn dedicated countless hours to training, studying, and expanding their knowledge of animal control and animal welfare. They then completed and passed a rigorous 200-question state certification exam, officially earning the title of Certified Animal Control Officers.

This accomplishment represents their dedication to continued education, professional growth, and providing the best possible service to both the people and animals of our community.

We are incredibly proud of them for taking on this challenge and setting the standard for the Rangely Police Department’s Community Service Officer Division.

Please join us in congratulating CSO Supervisor Coker and CSO Fricke on this well-earned achievement! 👏🐾🚔

⚠️🐾 WARNING: BLUE-GREEN ALGAE CAN BE DEADLY TO PETS! 🐾⚠️

With warmer weather, it’s important to be aware of harmful blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in lakes, ponds, rivers, and other bodies of water.

🚨 Blue-green algae can produce toxins that are extremely dangerous and potentially deadly to dogs and other animals. Pets can become sick from drinking contaminated water, swimming in it, eating algae, or licking contaminated water or algae from their fur.

💧 PLEASE NOTE: Regular drinking water from your home tap is completely safe for your animals. There is no need to worry about giving your pets tap water. The concern is with untreated or contaminated bodies of water where harmful algae may be present.

❌ Keep your pets away from water that:
• Looks green, blue, brown, or discolored
• Has foam, scum, mats, or a paint-like appearance
• Smells unusually bad
• Has dead fish or other animals nearby

🐶 If your pet gets into questionable water:
➡️ Get them out immediately.
➡️ Rinse them thoroughly with clean tap water.
➡️ Do not allow them to lick their fur.
➡️ Contact your veterinarian immediately if they show any signs of illness.

⚠️ Signs of possible poisoning include vomiting, excessive drooling, weakness, stumbling, difficulty breathing, tremors, seizures, and loss of energy.

When in doubt, stay out! There are plenty of safe ways to keep your four-legged family members cool. 💙🐾

Clean tap water/drinking water = SAFE! 💧🐶🐱
Questionable outdoor water = KEEP YOUR PETS OUT! 🚫🌊

Please SHARE this post to help keep our community and their pets safe!
