Residents on alert after loose wolf dogs attack pets in Sacramento
Briefly

Animal control in Sacramento is active in response to a pack of wolf-dog hybrids reported roaming in South Natomas. These hybrids, a mix of domestic dogs and wolves, attacked two domestic dogs, raising concerns among residents. While four of the five known wolf dogs have been captured, one remains at large, prompting outreach from the Sacramento councilmember for residents to report sightings. Despite being illegal to own first-generation wolf-dog mixes due to their unpredictable behavior, their popularity has increased in California, leading to heightened vigilance when they are spotted.
