Hammonton Police Searching For Owner Of Lost Older Chihuahua

Police are looking for the owners of a lost elderly chihuahua in Hammonton.

If you know me, you know there’s one thing that absolutely wrecks me: a lost dog.

As a proud fur mom to my two dogs Mia and Bodie, I can’t even handle being away from them for a full day. The thought of them scared, confused, and looking for me? Immediate tears.

So, when I saw Hammonton Police Department’s latest Facebook post, my heart sank.
