In Milford, Michigan, a senior dog named Lil’ Craig was rescued from freezing temperatures. He was found abandoned on a porch during a night when temperatures were below zero. Officers from the Milford Police Department responded to a call about the stray dog and took him in.
After efforts to locate the dog's owner failed, the Milford Police Department decided to adopt Lil’ Craig. They had posted about him on social media and checked with animal control, but no one came forward to claim him. The department felt it was best to give him a permanent home.
Lil’ Craig now lives at the Milford Police station, where he is cared for by the officers. He has undergone medical and dental procedures and is being treated for a cold. Despite his age and health issues, he brings joy and comfort to the officers and visitors at the station.
Lil’ Craig has become a beloved member of the police team, providing companionship and stress relief to the officers.
The Milford Police Department supports animal rescue efforts by partnering with the Puppies Behind Bars nonprofit program, which trains incarcerated individuals to raise service dogs for various purposes, including facility dogs for police departments. This initiative not only helps provide trained dogs like Alamo to the department but also promotes rehabilitation and community service among the participants.
