 A Sumner Police Department advises pet owners to hang up if someone calls them and demands money in exchange for a lost pet. In a social media post, they wrote scammers impersonating Metro Animal Services staff and animal control have been targeting pet owners. The scammers tell pet owners they have a missing pet and that payment is needed for the pet's return and even threatened to kill the pet if the fee isn't paid. You're urged to reach out to Sumner's Metro Animal Services if you get one of those calls.
