STAFF OBSERVATIONS 11/05/25 13:22 Dog was brought in by City of Blythe Animal Control. I approached the dog truck bin slowly. I could see that the dog had his tail tucked, shaking and was refusing to make eye contact. When I opened the dog truck, door I attempted to gently speak to him and leash him, but the dog immediately backed up into the corner of the bin and began showing teeth, and snapping at the air, dog at this point was whale eyeing me, growling and his hackles were raised. Unable to safely retrieve him from the very back of the dog bin Officer Bush placed dog on control stick, the dog began biting stick and thrashing but was quickly and safely placed in a kennel. I let the dog decompress for approximately an hour. I offered treats and used the kennel door as a barrier and entered the kennel to scan the dog for a microchip, but the dog kept biting at the wand scanner and was not interested in any treats. I stopped my attempts and removed myself from the kennel to avoid further stress to the dog. Unable to handle dog at this time. 01/10/26 13:26 - Walked on leash to play yard.
