Commission upholds Animal Services finding; Oreo declared vicious and to be euthanized
Summary
After hearing Animal Services’ summary and testimony from the appellant, the Commission voted to uphold the dangerous-dog hearing board’s ruling on Oreo, a pit-bull mix with four documented bite incidents; the motion to uphold carried 8–0 with four absent as recorded.
The Caddo Parish Commission heard an Animal Services summary regarding Oreo, a pit-bull mix previously declared a dangerous dog after multiple bite incidents. Animal Services staff explained Oreo had four separate bite incidents and that a dangerous dog found at large after prior designation can be escalated to a vicious determinate; staff said Oreo remained in custody at the facility.
The dog owner, introduced as Mr. Galvin, acknowledged lapses in containment and said he has been building a compliant fence since Oreo was impounded. Commissioner John Paul Young moved to uphold the dangerous-dog hearing board's ruling; the motion was seconded and carried, recorded in the transcript as 8 in support, none opposed, and four absent. Following the vote, commissioners and staff reiterated the priority of public safety and the responsibility owners bear once a dog is declared dangerous.
