Coyotes are active in the northwestern portions of Arvada. Living near the open spaces creates excellent access to trails and fantastic views. You also live closer to a wildlife habitat and need to exercise caution, especially if you have pets.

Since the end of May, we have seen rising numbers of dog and coyote interactions. We received five reports of dogs injured or killed by coyotes.

We will be hosting an education session with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on "Living with Wildlife" for Arvada Residents.

The session will be at Whisper Creek Community Station, 14360 W. 89th Drive, Arvada, on Monday, August 11th, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm.

If you cannot make the learning session, please visit https://cpw.state.co.us/living-coyotes for more information on how to live with wildlife in Colorado.

🐍 July 16 | World Snake Day
Rattlesnakes + Summer Hikes = A Risk You Don’t Wanna Take 🐾
Colorado’s Front Range is gorgeous☀️ — but it’s also home to rattlesnakes, and they don’t play. One bite can mean serious pain, swelling, tissue damage, and even life-threatening complications for your pet. 💔

Here’s how to keep your furry BFF safe:
🔗 Keep them leashed on hikes
🚫 Avoid rocky outcrops and tall grass
👀 Stay alert — rattlesnakes usually don’t want drama
🏥 If you think your pet got bit, get to a vet ASAP

🐶Vet bills for snakebites can be $$$ and even antivenin isn’t always a guaranteed fix. Prevention is everything. Summer’s for sunshine, not snakebites. Stay safe, stay smart, and keep those tails wagging! 🌄
