Civil Procedure
Service of process; default judgment

The Society of St. Francis (Society), an animal shelter, appeals from a small claims judgment awarding Barbara and George Godlewski $5000 in damages as compensation for Society's role in the loss of their dog. Society did not appear at trial, and the circuit court entered a default judgment awarding damages to the Godlewskis. We affirm the default judgment against Society.

However, because the record does not reflect any findings upon which the court could have based the amount awarded, we reverse and remand to the circuit court for a fact-finding hearing to determine the appropriate amount of damages. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
