What should you do if you see a coyote?  

According to the San Francisco Animal Care & Control, coyotes are “normally shy animals and not known to be aggressive.” However, urban coyotes are accustomed to “the sights, sounds and smells associated with (the city), and often show little fear of people.” 

The animal shelter shares some tips if you encounter a coyote:  

• Walk away. It is advised to keep moving away from the coyote. Do not run. 
• Make sure to pick up small dogs and carry them if you see a coyote.  
• Keep bigger dogs on a leash.  
• Prevent your dog(s) from interacting with a coyote or chasing them.  
• If approached by a coyote, you can shout, wave your arms, stomp your feet, or make any noise to startle the animal. Bringing a device that can make loud sounds is also helpful.  
• Keep close to your children and do not let a coyote come between you.
