Dog owner has been located and they were returned safely!

*FOUND DOGS*

Two Black Labs found near W. Rollin St. and Head St. Using our chip reader, we were able to determine one is named “Herb.”.. We’re still waiting for owner information to come back from the reading.

They’re in Doggy Jail at the Edgerton Police Department. We would post a picture.. but they’re not doing a good job of sitting still. Please contact us at the Rock County Non-Emergency Number 608-757-2244.
