The New Berlin Police Department has taken to social media to aid in finding the owner of a dog that was found roaming on Lincoln Avenue near the Sanctuary Apartments. According to the New Berlin Police Department's post, the "handsome boy" was found donning a camouflage collar outfitted with both a vet tag and a county dog license tag. The staff at the police department made sure he received plenty of affection in the interim. While the dog is described as "a very sweet, older gentleman," efforts to identify him through microchip technology proved futile as he was found to be lacking a chip. The furry wanderer has since been turned over to the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), where his care will continue until he is hopefully reunited with his family. Anyone with information regarding the dog's potential owners is urged to get in contact.

The commitment of the New Berlin officers to caring for found animals underscores the warmth and dedication present within our public services. For now, the canine in question is in the hands of HAWS, where he is likely getting the care he needs while waiting for a familiar face to walk through the door. If anyone out in the community recognizes this dog or knows the owner, reaching out could help to end this separation. "Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a chip," the New Berlin Police Department reiterated, signaling just how vital this identification method can be in cases such as these.
