SAUKVILLE, Wis. – The Wisconsin Humane Society said two dogs, who were found wandering the Saukville area last week, are up for adoption after no owners came forward.
The backstory:
The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office on March 21 issued a public alert that it was trying to catch the dogs and locate the owners. The pets had been evading capture in the Saukville area for several days, but were ultimately apprehended and brought in for medical attention.
