Numerous dogs and cats were rescued during the service of a search and seizure warrant at a home in the Lents Neighborhood.
On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) assigned to the Portland Police Bureau's East Precinct, with assistance from the Multnomah County District Attorney's Strategic Prosecution Unit, Multnomah County Animal Services, and the Oregon Humane Society, served a search and seizure warrant at a home near Southeast 86th Avenue and Southeast Tolman Street in the Lents Neighborhood. PPB and its partners were acting on information from neighborhood residents who reported malnourished animals were living in hazardous conditions inside of a home for months. During the service of the warrant, numerous dogs were found to be neglected and living in unsanitary conditions, with many in stacked cages. In total, 13 dogs and two cats were discovered and rescued from the home. The animals were transported to the Oregon Humane Society for evaluation and treatment.
While PPB and its partners were on scene, the animals' owner arrived and cooperated with the multi-agency investigation. Animal neglect charges are pending.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact Detective Consider Vosu at [email protected] and reference case number 24-216436.
