LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Louisville Metro Police Department has a new, but hopefully shortly tenured, office worker after a patrol officer found a lab on Thursday near Plantation and Hardesty.
LMPD said on Facebook that when the officer tried to locate the unnamed lab’s owner, neighbors said the dog had been walking around the area for several days.
Police said the dog doesn’t have a chip and isn’t fixed but does appear to have some training, responding to sit and give paw commands.
In the comments of the post, the department joked that the dog had been given a uniform and they might have to have him earn his keep by sending him out on patrol.
“We did get him a uniform until he can be reunited with his owner. He may head out on patrol,” they wrote.
If the owner can prove the dog is theirs, they can contact the department by calling 502-574-2478.
Officers said the dog would be taken to Louisville Metro Animal Services if nobody claimed him.

“We want to reunite the dog and the owner. So by sharing this post we hope someone will recognize the dog,” the department wrote.
The Louisville Metro Animal Services shelter is currently at capacity, according to its website, but they have a $1 adoption special until Nov. 1.
