***Awareness Post***

We've had two requests to search for dogs recently. Sadly they've drowned and at this time of year they have resurfaced before we could get there, leaving their owners with a traumatic task of recovering them.

There are a number of breeds that CANT SWIM or are POOR SWIMMERS. They can sink very quickly and with best efforts to save them it is often not possible.

You rarely get a second chance with water.

Your dog may never have shown an interest in water, or may just paddle. But dogs are instinct reactive and it only takes one accident.

Please don't take the risk. Please keep breeds that are known to be poor swimmers on a lead near water. At least then you have a chance of saving them.

Some of the breeds most known that can't swim/poor swimmers and most at risk are...

• French Bulldogs
• English Bulldogs
• Pocket Bully's
• Pugs
• Dachshunds
• Boxers
• Shih Tzu's
• Basset Hounds
• Corgi's
• Maltese

As an owner of a couple anxious dogs myself, I will share this every year.

Quick PSA: During the Fourth of July holiday, and the days leading it up to it when folks start celebrating with noisy fireworks, scores of pets run away from the sights and sounds, making the day after Independence Day the busiest of the year for animal hospitals and shelters. Please do your due diligence. And if you feel as though your pet may need medication to help them relax during firework season, now is the time to speak with your veterinarian!

On June 6, the Maryland Natural Resources Police said goodbye to K9 Badger.

He was the trusted, faithful partner and companion to Sgt. April Sharpeta. K9 Badger, nicknamed “Honey Badger” due to his sassy personality, came to the department in 2013. He began training in tracking and articles but after a session with Sgt.
Nyland’s dogs, K-9 Badger found that human remains detection (HRD) was what he was meant
to do.

Throughout his nine years of certified service, K9 Badger worked in almost every county in Maryland along with Delaware, West Virginia, and Washington DC. He supported NRP and assisted numerous local, state, and federal agencies on cases involving missing persons, homicides, suicides, and floods.

K9 Badger cleared thousands of acres of land searching for missing and deceased subjects and articles involved in those cases. He was always willing to work anytime and anywhere including cases on land, water, rubble, mud, ice, and snow.

When not working a case, K9 Badger enjoyed meeting kids and showing off his skills at public relations assignments.

In December of 2021, Badger was diagnosed with an inoperable adrenal tumor. K9 Badger leaves behind his handler, his loving family, and his NRP K9 team. He now joins Sgt. Sharpeta’s other canine, K9 Bear, at the Rainbow Bridge.

The Maryland Natural Resources Police is grateful for K9 Badger and his service to the agency and grieves his loss along with Sgt. Sharpeta.

This week has been rough. We are sad to announce that sweet Olaf has crossed the rainbow bridge. Olaf had made great progress over his swimming journey. He was always so excited to come. We even found out he enjoyed water guns so much. Rest easy sweet boy! Staff sends hugs and condolences to Olaf's family.

We received news that one of our long time swimmers, Prancer has crossed the rainbow bridge. We will miss him terribly. Rest Easy sweet boy.
