LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Animal services is trying to locate the owner of a dog that was rescued in Shawnee Park.
The organization said they received a call on Tuesday about the dog and responded to the “strange run”.
It was found in the park near the water fountains, stranded on one of the islands inside of the pond.
