While the snowstorm means bad roads, it does also mean great photos with the dogs in the snow. Post one of your four legged friend, we’d love to see them! K9 Jocko below!

You may wonder what do school canines do on a snow day? Just like the kids they protect they spend the day playing in it and enjoying a break! Here you see K9 Newt pumped to keep chasing her ball and K9 Casper clearly not believing he’s being told to come back inside already! Happy snow day guys!

Kilo update- as you may remember Kilo was found in Indianapolis chained to a dumpster in a winter storm to either freeze or starve to death, and then marked for immediate euthanasia by the shelter that took him in for “resource guarding”. Grossly underweight and with a respiratory infection, he has been spending his time in an amazing foster home getting some weight back on, getting healthy and giving humans a second chance. He could not be in better hands and is loved on every day and we cannot wait to see what amazing things he will do at his future police department. Good boy Kilo! Top pics are the before, bottom pics are most recent- look at the difference

We would like to thank the Cloe family for their incredibly generous donation. We are about to announce our next dog (so stay tuned) but this donation will help with the vet bills for him and for future dogs we may have the opportunity to save as well as help agencies acquire a canine when they never could have through traditional means. Thank you for helping create emptier shelters and safer streets!

Huge thank you to the family that dropped off a Christmas basket for K9 Newt at the Plainfield Police Department! K9 Newt is absolutely loved by the students of the community whom she serves daily as a therapy dog and gun detection dog. Newt said she wanted to relay how much she loved her present !

A gigantic “THANK YOU” to J and J Express Services right here in Plainfield for their incredibly generous donation.

Puppy reunion! Last year I raised a litter of puppies for the Hendricks County Animal Shelter whose momma was in rough shape, and they were all miracle puppies. It was without a doubt one of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve done. I would like to say an extra special “thank you” to Don and Angie Dudley and Plainfield Gym & Tanning for their generous donation and for bringing in Mikey to see me today- made my day, week and month that he remembered his foster dad! Pictured below is Mikey recognizing me, trying to pose for a photo and then one of the day he opened his eyes. Thank you Dudley’s for giving him such a great home and for your generous donation to help with emptier shelter’s and safer streets!

Danville Schools Police Dept Officer Kiritschenko is a great friend of the program and a huge supporter. Officer K is also the very first police officer in Indiana to be assigned to a school and have a K9 partner. Her former partner K9 Zeus has been retired for almost 5 years and at 14 years young has some trouble getting around. But none of that mattered this week when at training Officer K brought Zeus out of retirement to get some reps- I’d say the old man’s still got it!

When you have an ear infection and you’re a malinois- your dad needs to get creative to keep the cotton balls in! K9 Echo looks like he’s either not pleased with his beanie OR he’s posing for the hottest doggie rap album cover of the year! You decide!

We had the honor last night of being invited and recognized at the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation as they officially swore in K9 Casper. Clark Pleasant School’s Police Chief Pryce also invited our number one fan Evan to attend. Chief Pryce made a proclamation that made Evan the chief for a day, and he got to administer K9 Casper’s oath of office and present him his official badge. The oath? “Casper do you promise to always be a good puppy?” was met by Casper kisses, so we’ll take that as a yes. The school system and town also thanked Town of Plainfield - Government Director of Public Safety Jared McKee for his support of our shelter to shield program, as well as Mavis K9 Academy for their work with Casper’s therapy dog training. Also there was the good friend of the program and talented artist Becky Wanick who presented Casper’s handler with his portrait (see comments below for a better look). What a great night! Good boy Casper!

We would like to again thank York Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and the York family for choosing us as their “Drive to Donate” charity for November. They presented us with a very generous donation today and we couldn’t appreciate the timing anymore as we are now able to buy some equipment and have a cushion for any unexpected vet bills! Thanks again!

Here’s our news: meet our newest dog- Kilo. Kilo was found CHAINED TO A DUMPSTER to either freeze or starve to death- not even given a chance to fend for himself. The shelter that took him in- not Hendricks- offered him food when he arrived and said he “resource guarded” it. Really?! A starving dog resource guarded his food? This “assessment” labeled him aggressive and had him scheduled to be put down. Thanks to a dedicated animal lover who had heard of us we were able to get him released, placed in an AMAZING foster home and get him to a vet. He is unbelievably sweet and everything we could hope for in a working dog. When you meet him you can practically feel the gratitude in his behavior and see the thanks in his eyes. He is currently focusing on being loved on, gaining some weight and learning some light obedience. Welcome to the blue line Kilo, you’re gonna love your new life. Extra special thanks to Dr Busch with Healthy Paws Animal Hospital for dropping everything to help him and for everything she does to help homeless pets. To all of you who have donated or bought merchandise, your support is what has let us be able to save lives like Kilo. Thank you everyone for all of the support!

This picture was taken of Teeko just before heading out for his first night on patrol the other day! Look how eager he is! Another homeless dog who now has a home, a family and a purpose. A department that wouldn’t have been able to acquire a canine through traditional means is now better able to protect their citizens and a community is safer for it. Good boy Teeko, we can’t wait to see your success!

This is how we found Teeko. At first deemed “aggressive” we knew he was just a scared puppy. Watch how quickly this guy goes from being aggressive to wanting to make a friend. K9 Teeko is making huge gains in his training and living his new life

This is how we found Teeko at the shelter. At first presenting as aggressive we knew he was just a scared puppy and needed some patience. Here you will see him going from from attack mode to wanting a friend. He is excelling in his current training as a detection/tracking dog and absolutely loves his new life and job. Watch until the end!

Echo’s dad coming up with a pretty ingenious solution to him being a sloppy drinker

From being clearly abused and afraid to search the biggest part about getting Ginger back to being a detection dog was patients and empathy. See if you can spot which dog is so excited to go to work. This was at canine trainers school in Florida just outside of Orlando, which is where Ginger now works keeping guests safe at a certain theme park…

As a victim of animal cruelty, she was starved nearly to death and during her recovery we thought she could benefit from some backyard time with Jocko

The foundation of any working dog should be obedience. Echo demonstrating being clear headed while also getting comfortable being uncomfortable

From being afraid to search at all to having the best time, Ginger became laser accurate
