The Sooke RCMP are investigating after two dogs were shot, leaving one dead and one seriously injured on Sunday morning.

On October 19, 2025, at 11:59 a.m., the Sooke RCMP received a report of a shooting involving two dogs on the 2500 block of Farmer Drive. CCTV footage revealed that at 11:46 a.m., shots could be heard in the area followed shortly by one of the two dogs collapsing on a neighbouring driveway. Sadly, one of the two dogs died while the other was taken to a local vet for immediate treatment. Police have seized the dog and a necropsy is planned in the coming days.

The investigation is in its infancy and efforts are ongoing to determine any suspects.

“At the outset, these set of circumstances seem very concerning and we will continue to seek clarity on why this happened and whether it was criminal in nature,” said Staff Sergeant Greg Willcocks of the Sooke RCMP. “Anyone who may have seen anything who has yet to speak with police is asked to call us immediately.”

Anyone with any information, CCTV or dash cam footage related to this incident is urged to contact the Sooke RCMP at 250-642-5241.
