Fern was taken to the North Fork Animal Welfare League (NFAWL), where she received vet care and a bath. Gabrielle Stroup with NFAWL said the small Dog spent quite a bit of time napping after her harrowing ordeal.

On Saturday, June 19, Officer Crosser and his wife, Olivia, went to the shelter to pick up Fern and take her home.

“They were all grinning ear to ear,” Stroup said. “It brought tears to our eyes and seeing how happy the two of them are to welcome her into their home is heartwarming — a great ending!”

“A very happy ending to a sad story,” the NFAWL posted on Facebook. “Little Fern was found on June 18th tied to a mile marker in greenport.

“STPD Officer Crosser found her and brought her to the shelter. She has been at the shelter getting the necessary vet care and today officer Crosser and his wife have officially adopted Fern !!!!!”

The Southold Town Police Benevolent Association shared the welfare league’s post, adding in their own commendation.

“Fern is in fantastic hands!!” they wrote.

“The whole staff thinks it’s a great end to a very sad situation,” Stroup said, according to Patch. “It is nice to see how much they already seem to care for her.”

Based on the number of positive comments and people thanking Crosser for saving the Dog and then making her part of his Family, many people have agreed that “it’s a great end to a very sad situation.”
