Dog Attack
On Tuesday 5th June 2018 at about 09.00am Police were called to Jimbour St, Jandowae in relation to a pigging dog at large behaving aggressively. On arrival the dog was seen with a large chain around its neck, the dog attempted to bite the Police Officer as he alighted from the Police vehicle. Inquiries reveal the dog had already bitten a male person prior to Police arrival. Police had concerns for public safety and in consultation with WDRC Animal Control the dog was put down by Police. This incident is very upsetting for local Police Officers as we are dog lovers however safety of this community will always come first. The dog was removed from the scene by council & the owner immediately notified.
Police ask all dog owners to be responsible and keep their dogs in their yards at all times, fines for unregistered dogs or dogs at large are expensive & you could be sued civilly, be responsible for vet bills or charged if your pet bites another dog or injures an adult or child.

On Wednesday 23/5/2018 the Jandowae Liquor Accord group met at Exchange Hotel.
