ANIMAL ABUSE/NEGLECT

Josephine Co. Sheriff's Office

Josephine County Animal Control Officers received a report of malnourished canines at Pawsitive K9 Solutions, located at 783 SE 6^th Street Grants Pass, Oregon. Deputies with the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office obtained and served a search warrant at the location on September 21^st, 2022. Deputies and Animal Control Officers recovered 13 canines all at different levels of malnourishment. Some of the canines required immediate care from veterinarians who helped after hours to see them in a timely manner. The living conditions of the animals revealed they had been neglected for some time. The canines were transported to the Josephine County Animal Shelter.

The owners/employees of the business were not present at the time of the search warrant, but they have been identified.

As of September 23, 2022, the canines are doing well and are getting the care they need at the Shelter.  The Shelter has stated that they are on special and expensive prescription diets at this time and donations are always appreciated.  If you would like to help with their care and donate, the Shelter specifically asked for hoses, bleach, laundry detergent, and nitrile exam gloves but always welcomes any donations. 

This case will be forwarded to the Josephine County District Attorney’s Office for review.
