Adairsville Police Dog Dies After Being Hit By A Vehicle

The Adairsville police dog who went missing last week only to be found later has died after being struck by a vehicle in Polk County.

Nero, a six-year-old Dutch Shepherd who weighed 65 pounds, succumbed to his injuries at 3 p.m. on Saturday, according to the department. Nero had been in the local news late last week when he managed to free himself from his kennel and escape his home in Cedartown, Georgia. He was soon found, however, and reunited with his handler, Cpl. Damon Cadle. Nero was secured in his kennel inside his handler’s home, as is the case whenever his handler is away for training. It would be pure speculation to try to determine what Nero was reacting to when he escaped from his kennel.

This was a tragic accident.

The Department will have a Memorial Service for K-9 Nero which will be held on April 4th, 2017 @ 4:00 p.m. at NorthPointe Church, 30 Orchard Road, Adairsville, GA 30103.

The City of Adairsville and the Adairsville Police Department want to thank everyone for the incredible show of sympathy and support that the community has demonstrated during this very sad time.
