After a brown-colored black bear was sighted roaming a residential area in Stevenson Ranch this week, officials are reminding Santa Clarita Valley pet owners to keep their four-legged companions safe.
Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, the bear passed through the backyards of several homes on Hardy Place near Stevenson Ranch Parkway and rifled through trash cans on the street, according to a social media post by a resident.
When it comes to protecting pets from a potential altercation with a wild animal, local Animal Control officials advise residents to err on the side of caution.

That’s a black bear. The only brown bear left in California is on the flag.

Your garbage can is more threatened than your pets… #vegetarians
Bears are omnivores
Mountain girl here: Take all outside trash to the dump and leave anything else inside until the morning of trash day.

Better bring in the dogs! Scary!
They were here first and we never asked them to move. We have to learn to live with nature

Remember, you don’t have to outrun the bear. You just have to outrun your friend. ;)

He was in my backyard and he was definitely brown.
All bears in the wild in SoCal are black bears. They range in color from brown to black.
