🐾FOUND DOG 🐾

This sweet female black poodle was found near the I-35 on-ramp from CR-70 and is currently being cared for.

She is very friendly and was found wearing a pink collar (no tags), a pink bandana, and a bow in her hair. Unfortunately, she does not have a microchip. She also appears to have a broken leg and a displaced hip.

If you recognize this dog or know her owner, please contact dispatch at 651-322-2323 to get in touch with an officer ❤
