Neighbor Dispute Leads to Theft of Dog

Bring Brewer Home in 48 Hours

(MARION, Ore) — For approximately the last month the Marion County Sheriff's Office and its partners, the Marion County Dog Control, the Oregon Humane Society and the District Attorney's Office have been working complaints brought forth by a neighbor regarding a dog named Brewer.

Over this time period, each entity has conducted its own investigation regarding the dog and have determined that no crimes have been committed and the dog is being cared for by standards set forth in the law.

Sometime over night an unknown person or persons entered the private property of the dog's owner, who lives in the 14000 block of Marion Road SE, near Marion.

The Sheriff's Office does suspect that the theft coincides with a Facebook post regarding the dog.

The Facebook post was a call for action and it is suspected that the theft occurred because of this call for action.

The Sheriff's Office understands the complex nature of these types of complaints and understands both sides involved can become very emotionally charged.

That is why the Sheriff's Office is offering the opportunity for the dogs return within the next 48 hours with no questions asked.

If you possess the dog or know someone who does, the dog can be returned to any deputy sheriff or to the Marion County Dog Control.

If Brewer is not located within this time period the Sheriff's Office intends to pursue its investigation and the involved parties could face criminal prosecution, theft of a dog is a class C Felony.

If you know where Brewer is located please call 503-588-5032.
