ARVADA, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is hosting a community meeting Monday amid a rising number of coyote attacks on pets reported in Arvada since May.

Arvada police said they have received five reports of coyotes injuring or killing dogs.

"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," Arvada police said.

CPW will host its educational session in partnership with Arvada police at the Whisper Creek station at 14360 W. 89th Drive on Aug. 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
