WESTMINSTER, Colo -- From birds and snakes to puppies and kittens, the WPD AMO Unit was busy this month! This is just a handful of the calls they respond to every day. Here are some of our favorite rescues in May:
Pelican Rescue: AMO Meketuk used a kayak to reach and free a pelican that was tangled up in a pond.
Snake Save: AMOs Kuhlman and Wood rescued a garter snake who was seriously stuck!
Ducklings Delivered Safely Home: AMO Kuhlman and the Westminster Fire Department rescued several ducklings caught in a storm drain.
Kitten Rescue: Officers, Dispatch and AMOs worked together to rescue and care for a stray kitten who was eventually transported to the shelter.
Puppies! AMOs picked up a litter of puppies and took them to the shelter for adoption.
