Hollister police are searching for the driver of a vehicle that abandoned a dog in the middle of the street twice in one day.
Witnesses reported that a small white dog was abandoned in the area of Daffodil Drive on July 26, 2025.
Surveillance footage showed the occupants of an older gray BMW stopping in the area at around 12:46 p.m. and intentionally releasing a white poodle-type dog onto the street before driving away, according to police.
The dog was seen chasing after the vehicle as it drove off.
Later that day, at around 3:07 p.m., the same vehicle returned to the area and abandoned the dog again.
"Both incidents were captured on residential security cameras and reported by a concerned citizen. The dog was not located at the time of the initial report, prompting an ongoing investigation by Animal Control Officers," said Hollister police in a social media post.
Hollister police are seeking information about those responsible for the crime.
I rescued a white poodle .. sort of ...thing ...
that had been “released” on our rural road.
It was one time an abandoned dog did find a farm to live on... happily ever after
Who ever did this should be released naked in the Amazon jungle
Bless you for rescuing that dog.
Bless you for rescuing that dog.
Doesn’t it amount to the same thing?
The dog shouldn’t be returned to those creepy owners, even after they get out of the hospital and can hobble around on walking casts using two canes.
They don’t deserve an innocent dog.
The dogs don’t fill out the forms and pay the fee. The owners do.
Hollister. Norte Mexico de California
How did you know I did it twice? .... just KIDDING
That poor thing was about gone ... dying under a matted pile of hair inches thick. It couldn't even see through the mat.
Tore my heart open.
still boils my blood to think of it....grrrrr
Well thank God the police and media are all over this.
you can tell a lot about people by how they treat animals
My sister and BIL live in Hollister I can’t imagine someone from that part of Missouri doing that.
Our last two dogs were dumped in our neighborhood. Two best dogs we ever had. The Chihuahua is still going strong at 18.
“Two best dogs we ever had”
I love happy endings.
I can not get my head around what it takes to abandon a domesticated animal.
Only a feral one could do it.
bless you
