MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA, Ala. — Owens Cross Roads Police Officer Graves and his K-9 partner, Raven, came to the rescue on Saturday night, saving a young German Shepherd left tied to a tree near the Huntsville Utilities power substation.
Owens Cross Roads Police Officer Graves responded to a call regarding a dog at the intersection of Old Big Cove Road and Old Highway 431, where he found the German Shepherd alone. Rather than taking the dog to a pound, a community member stepped forward to adopt the pup.
Owens Cross Roads Police remind people not to leave animals tied up and abandoned, but instead to contact an animal rescue, shelter, or advertise them as free to a good home.
