Pelican Narrows RCMP put down three dogs after an adult was injured on McKay Street on Nov. 2, 2026. Police said they received the report at approximately 11 a.m. and that the adult's injuries were described as life-threatening at a health clinic.

Officers responded immediately and found the injured adult on McKay Street, according to the RCMP. They provided medical assistance and took the person to the clinic in an RCMP vehicle. Saskatchewan RCMP said they would not provide an update on the person's condition or further identifying details.

After leaving the clinic, officers returned to investigate. They found three dogs nearby that the investigation determined were involved in the incident. Police said they put down the dogs in the interest of public safety. The investigation continues.

Earlier incident

Police said this was the second dog-related injury recently reported to the detachment. At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 31, officers responded to a report of an adult at the medical clinic who had been injured by a dog. Police located the dog, and its owners ultimately put it down after discussing the matter with officers.

The incidents are considered separate and did not involve the same dogs or owners, police said.

Safety advice

Detachment commander Staff Sgt. Scott Kirychuk said police welcome an opportunity to meet with Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation to consider next steps for community safety.

Kirychuk recommended that dog owners in the First Nation not let their dogs run free. He said a dog's behaviour may change in a pack and advised owners to keep dogs tied up or inside a fenced area.
