PET LICENSING Pet ownership comes with many responsibilities to keep you, your pet, and your community safe. Lincoln County requires all dogs hold a valid license pursuant to ORS 609.100. Cat licenses are optional but are encouraged because they can help reunite you with your cat if they are lost. In addition to being required by law, licensing your dog can save their life and speed up the process of returning them to you. One of Lincoln County Animal Shelter’s goals is to be able to reunite all lost pets with their families. In 2024, our animal shelter helped 171 lost pets reunite with their families. Having a licensed pet can help speed up the process of being reunited when your pet is lost. If happy reunions are not enough motivation, failure to obtain a dog license can result in a $265 fine. All dogs in the county are required to be licensed within thirty days of residence. This is a requirement regardless of where you live in Lincoln County and whether your dog leaves your property or not. While cat licenses are not required, they help can reunite families with their feline friends. You may easily purchase or renew a license by mail, over the phone, at the Animal Shelter, or online. Applications and additional information are available online at: www.co.lincoln.or.us/695/Pet-Licensing. Why licensing is important: • License tags allow us to contact you as soon as possible. This provides peace of mind, leaves space at the shelter for other animals in need, and saves tax-payer money. • License fees support shelter programs and operations which provide over 1,000 animals with food, veterinary care, shelter, training, behavior enrichment, and adoption services each year. • License fees support field services and investigations which address loose pets, aggressive dogs, and bite reports. • License fees allow Animal Services to investigate, seize, and care for animals who are victims of cruelty and neglect. • License fees support our pet retention programs which help people keep their pets. • If your animal is found injured and wearing its license, it is much easier for us to obtain emergency medical attention for them and to contact you with the details. • Identification is critically important for your pet in the event of a disaster. • If your dog is impounded, current on their license, and spayed or neutered, the first $30 impound fee is waived. • License fees are an important way the community supports our policy of not euthanizing for time or space. These fees also support finding new homes for as many animals as possible. Please keep your pets safe with a license, ID tag, and microchip. Remember to search for your lost pet at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter at 510 NE Harney St. in Newport and by calling 541-265-0720. You can help reunite lost pets by following the Animal Shelter’s Facebook page at LincolnCountyLostandFoundPets.

WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS Wildfires can happen every year in Oregon and it is important to be ready. Here are 10 easy things you can do to get prepared during May’s Wildfire Awareness Month. • Burn yard debris safely. Escaped debris burning is the main cause of wildfires started by people. • Do yard work and use power tools in the spring, not summer, to lower fire risk. • Create a safe space around your home. Start with 5 feet and work up to 30 feet. This helps protect your home if a wildfire comes. • Make sure your address is easy to see from the street so emergency crews can find you. • Know at least two ways to leave your neighborhood in case of evacuation. • Build a 72-hour emergency kit for your family and pets. • Make a communication plan with family, neighbors, and someone out of the area. • Take photos or videos of your belongings and store them safely. • Sign up for Lincoln Alerts to get emergency warnings and updates. • Share these tips with friends, family, and neighbors.

Weeks 9 and 10 of Citizen Academy were action packed! On Week 9, Members from our Patrol and Corrections teams came together to demonstrate some tools deputies have in the jail and on patrol (and some of the times each tool might be used to gain compliance and/or prevent further injuries). After the overview, participants had the chance to practice firing training rounds and tasers at targets. Our team then ran through some scenario response training (role-playing scenarios) with participants to get a glimpse of the ongoing training and situations deputies are in every day. Willing participants had the chance to walk through a scenario such as a conflict in the jail or responding to a suspicious call. In each scenario participants acting as deputies had to try to de-escalate the situation. Afterwards they shared why they made the decisions they did, if they would have done anything differently, and wanted to know how our deputies would have handled the situation. Thanks, Patrol Sergeant Dougherty, Corrections Sergeant Stark, Lieutenant McDowall, Corporal Miller, Deputies DeHaan and Ceras for making the night possible! Week 10 started with a debrief from the prior week’s scenarios. Three of our Peer Support Members, Sergeant Stark, Sergeant Holmes, and Pretrial Specialist Yuson and Peer Support Coordinator Jess Palma held a Critical Incident Debriefing to demonstrate real-life response to incidents affecting our teams. Following the debrief, Patrol Commander Lt. Vertner led the team through a body-cam review of the incidents from week 9 and shared additional information on how our office handles stressful situation; emphasizing why consistent, continued training is vital. Palma then took the class through a deeper look at our robust wellness program. Wellness, resiliency, and support is vital for our team members -when they are at their best, they can do their best for our communities. Interested in joining the 2028 Citizen Academy? Submit your application now and we will contact you when it opens. Application link: www.volgistics.com/appform/186813Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post
