On the morning of Saturday, April 5, a Rochester Police Officer responded to the area of Highland Street in East Rochester for a report of a goat on the loose.

It was reported that the goat may have been hit by a vehicle and injured. After searching the area, Officer Noah McCann located the goat, who did not appear to have been hit by a vehicle and did not appear injured.

Due to his training, Officer McCann was able to build a rapport with the goat and eventually took him into custody. The unidentified goat was transported to the NHSPCA in Stratham for protective custody.

If anyone knows who this goat belongs to, please contact the NHSPCA in Stratham at (603) 772-2921.
