Looking for non-suppressor suggestions

[Rhino]

So a family member recently lost a NUMBER of chickens to some dogs in an urban backyard. The pellet gun is no longer "cutting it." Technically it's still in the county, but in a neighborhood. What are their "quietest" non-suppressor options to dispatch a dog with a shot or two?

Have pretty serious doubts about that if it is a medium sized dog and the distance is over 20 feet. Still needs to be a head shot.

22 short

Sub-sonic .22 LR is the way to go IMO.

FYI, when you are done shooting you will find your barrel may requiring a lot of detailed cleaning.
A solvent trap can assist you with easy cleaning and less mess. Food for thought.

He could just let his immediate neighbors know that he is having chicken predation and will be kinetically dealing with it.

Trap.

Don't wound a dog, and let it suffer.

Agreed. If it has to be shot, don’t half ass it. Rifle or PCC from a stable position and head or heart/lungs shot.
have a hole already dug.

Positively confirmed it’s a dog?

This too. Foxes, raccoons , bobcats, etc will play hell on unsecured chickens

Your options for dispatch will increase if you can trap whatever it is

It's not gonna be...

Yes. They routinely "deal" with the other stuff.

Not an option

They were far from unsecured, but a fairly brute dog forced it's way in. They've been keeping chickens for years.

If it was out in the country, I'd WANT this dog to suffer... after the damage he did, but that's not the plan.
