Update on the found dog, 01/14/2025 Many citizens have raised concerns and questions about the dog and her puppies. We had an officer take the dog to where she was located to see if she would take us to her home or to where she had her puppies stashed. The dog did not want to leave the officer and did not lead us to either. We have since transferred the dog to the Humane Society in Union for housing and further care. If you have any questions about the status of the dog, please contact them. No further updates will be provided.
