Meet our newest K9ish member, Elmer, our Waushara County Animal Shelter rescue turned narcotics detecting cat. Elmer's narcotics detection results are still inconclusive, but he is really good at detecting suspicious tuna, and anything labeled catnip. Great partners come in all shapes, sizes and species! Happy April Fools' Day from WPD. ❤️
