WEST HARTFORD, CT — The local animal control department has a cute canine in custody who was found in the cold late on New Year's Day.
According to West Hartford Animal Control, the female dog — who appears to be a mixed breed — was found outside near Fern Street and Fernbel Lane.
Officials said the dog doesn't have a "chip scanner," which is a way to ID lost dogs and, as a result, the canine, as of early this week, is still in town custody.
The missing dog, officials said, is not up for adoption, and they are asking the public not to inquire about her availability.
More information on the dog's situation is available on the West Hartford Animal Control Facebook page, with the department writing a clever and witty note from the dog's point of view.
