The Mount Laurel Police Department was alerted about a wee injured Pit Bull puppy stumbling about in a secluded industrial area in New Jersey. An officer quickly responded to the scene and rescued the helpless puppy, who had suffered a nasty head wound. The officer rushed the puppy to the Burlington County Animal Shelter for the necessary first aid.

The puppy had no microchip or ID, so the department reached out to the public in hopes of locating his family. However, no one turned up and it became clear that the lonely puppy was homeless and needed a good home. When Officer Matthew O’Hanlon learned about the puppy’s predicament, he immediately came forward to adopt the little one!
