Windsor Police Service says officers were at the home in the 2700 block of Lynngrove Court around 11 a.m. Thursday to arrest a "wanted individual for a serious offence" from another jurisdiction.
Police say officers were conducting their investigation when a dog became "aggressive" and "charged towards them" outside the home.
According to police, "at one point, an officer believed their safety was in jeopardy due to the dog lunging at them and attempting to bite them multiple times."
Police say that's when an officer, "responded by discharging their firearm."
Windsor police say the dog was administered first aid and transported to a veterinary clinic for emergency surgery, but did not survive.
The suspect being sought by police at the home was arrested, but their name has not been disclosed.
As heard on AM800 News, a GoFundMe page has been started to help pay more than $3,000 in vet fees.
Owner Scott, maintains Chloe is a gentle and friendly dog.
