We are heartbroken to hear of his passing. We are all thinking of his family, the department and everyone he helped during this time of sorrow and grief. 💙 Such a sweet boy! He will truly be missed.

🐾Honoring a Hero: Farewell to New Bern K9 Fredy 💔

It is with a heavy heart that the New Bern Police Department shares the passing of K9 Fredy. After more than seven years of exemplary service, K9 Fredy crossed the rainbow bridge late last week.

Fredy wasn't just a K9 officer, he was a loyal partner to Sgt. Fulton, a beloved member of our law enforcement family and a dedicated protector of our city.

From his swearing-in in 2019 to his retirement, Fredy dedicated his life to duty, assisting in more than 150 arrests. His tireless work ethic was only matched by his love for his handler.

We ask the community to join us in keeping Sgt. Fulton, his family, and the entire police department in their thoughts during this difficult time. Thank you for your service, Fredy. You have earned your rest.

"You served us well, K9 Fredy. We have the watch from here."

🐾💙 National Animal Care & Control Appreciation Week 💙🐾

This week, we recognize the people who are often working behind the scenes…
but make an incredible impact every single day

🐾 Animal Care & Control Officers

They are the ones who:
✔️ Respond when animals are lost, injured, or in danger
✔️ Protect both pets and people in our community
✔️ Investigate cruelty and neglect
✔️ Reunite families with their beloved pets
✔️ Advocate for those who don’t have a voice

This job isn’t easy…
It takes compassion, strength, patience, and heart ❤️

At Homeward Bound, we are so grateful to work alongside these dedicated individuals who help keep our community safe and our animals protected

🐶🐱 To all Animal Care & Control teams—
Thank you for the work you do, the lives you save, and the difference you make every day

💛 If you see an officer this week, take a moment to say THANK YOU
