Bite dog at large on 2200 block of 19th ST

The Humane Society of Yuma would like to alert the public to a bite dog at large.
The dog, described as a medium-sized tan terrier mix, was last seen at the intersection 22nd Avenue and 19th Street.

A woman was bitten in her attempt to break up an altercation between the dog in question and her own dog that she was walking.

"It is important that we impound this animal in order to verify it's rabies vaccination status since it has already bitten someone," said HSOY Director of Operations Annette Lagunas.

Anyone encountering this dog should contact the Humane Society of Yuma's Patrol Division at (928) 782-1621, ext. 106.
