🚨 FOUND DOG 🚨

This sweet little pup was found near Kendall/11th NE and is currently safe. 🐾❤️

Small, cream-colored dog with a pink collar. Very friendly and appears to be well cared for. We’d love to get this little one back home to their family!

If you recognize this dog or know who they belong to, please contact dispatch at 330-832-9811.

Please share to help us find their owner! 🐶❤️

This big boy ran away from home and is looking for his human 🐾

🚨 UPDATE: The dog warden now has this dog safely in their care.

We also want to clarify the blood seen around the dog’s neck. The blood came from an individual who was attempting to assist with capturing the dog. The dog was not aggressive. It appeared to be in some pain, which made the situation more difficult.

The individual attempting to secure the dog picked it up underneath its belly, which resulted in the injury and blood that was observed.

This sweet momma is scared, confused, and all alone. 💔🐾

She was found wandering with no idea where she belongs. She appears to have recently had puppies, and we can’t help but wonder if there are babies out there missing their momma. 😢

She is very timid and just wants to feel safe. ❤️

Please SHARE this post! Someone may recognize her and know where she belongs.

🙏 Help us get this momma back home and reunited with her family. 🐾❤️

🐾 These two pups are apparently on a neighborhood adventure! 🐾

We have two found dogs who are safe and waiting for their people to come scoop them up.

🐶 Beagle – Found near State St. & 11th St. NE
🐶 Pit Bull – Found near Oak Ave. & 3rd St. SE

If one of these four-legged escape artists belongs to you (or you know who they belong to), please contact the Police Department.

Help us turn their little field trip into a trip back home! 🐕❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s National Night Out such a success!

To our officers, city employees, volunteers, vendors, community partners, sponsors, and everyone who donated their time, resources, and energy, thank you for helping create an evening that brought our community together.

To everyone who came out with your families, participated in the activities, and spent the evening with us, thank you for your continued support. Seeing so many smiling faces, neighbors connecting, and kids enjoying themselves is exactly what National Night Out is all about.

Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. We truly appreciate each and every person who played a part in making the night memorable.

Thank you for helping strengthen the partnership between our department and the community we are proud to serve. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

⚠️ Community Alert: Check Fraud ⚠️

The Massillon Police Department would like to make residents aware of a recent trend involving mailed checks.

We have received reports of checks mailed to Aqua Ohio being intercepted before reaching their destination. The checks appear to have been opened, altered, and rewritten.

If you regularly mail checks to pay bills or for any other purpose, please use extra caution:

Monitor your bank account frequently for unauthorized transactions.

Consider using secure mail drop boxes instead of leaving outgoing mail in your residential mailbox.

Whenever possible, use electronic payment methods to reduce the risk of mail theft.

If you notice any suspicious activity or believe you may be a victim of check fraud, contact your financial institution immediately and report it to your local law enforcement agency.

We are actively investigating these incidents and wanted to make the community aware so residents can take precautions and help prevent additional victims.
