K9 Bora Officially Retires 🐾

Sheriff Rodney Smith is honored to announce the official retirement of K9 Bora, who completed her distinguished career at the end of 2024.

Born on January 1, 2015, in Germany, K9 Bora traveled to Athens County, Ohio, where she served and protected its citizens with unwavering dedication. In the spring of 2016, she arrived in Southeast Ohio and underwent training at Pine Grove Kennels in Meigs County under Master Trainer Steve Heater. That summer, K9 Bora and her dedicated handler, Joel Banks, received certification from the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission in criminal apprehension, tracking, article searches, and the detection of ma*****na, co***ne, he**in, methamphetamine, and their derivatives.

Initially assigned to afternoon patrol, K9 Bora later became a key member of the Athens County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Interdiction Team, a specialized unit comprised of two deputies and K9 Bora. This unit focused on high-crime areas, working diligently to curb drug trafficking and engage with local communities to address the county’s drug crisis.

One of the most significant highlights of K9 Bora’s career was the detection and seizure of 132 kilos (291 lbs.) of co***ne from an unauthorized aircraft that landed at Ohio University Airport in 2017. The two individuals involved ultimately plead guilty in Federal Court to Trafficking Narcotics. At the time, it was the largest recorded drug seizure in Ohio history south of Interstate 70.

Career Achievements:
• 4,662 traffic stops conducted
• 558 individuals arrested on outstanding warrants
• 131 fi****ms seized and removed from the streets
• 1,568 drug charges filed
• $103,637 in drug-related currency seized
• 1,355 drug cases resulting in the seizure of illegal narcotics with a total street value exceeding $6,076,555

K9 Bora’s career was not without challenges. She survived a vehicle rollover crash and endured a venomous snake bite while assisting with a crash scene, requiring emergency treatment at Ohio State Animal Hospital.

Beyond her law enforcement duties, K9 Bora has been a beloved member of the community. She frequently attended parades, school visits, and public events, making a lasting impact on the children of Athens County - especially at Alexander Local School District, where she enjoyed greeting students in hallways and classrooms.

As K9 Bora enters retirement at the age of 10, she remains in good health and looks forward to spending her days playing, swimming, and basking in the sun. Please join us in expressing our deepest gratitude for her years of dedicated service and wishing her a well-deserved, peaceful retirement.

Reminder.... We are going into the coyote mating season. January and February they are extemely agressive and active. Coyotes will be on the prowl looking for food. They have been known to scale a 12ft fence with ease. A coyote can literally wait in the shadows for when you take your little dog out for potty break and turn your head and that is how long it can take for you to lose your precious fur baby. They have adapted to being the best skilled hunters and they go into peoples backyards all the time and on front porches. All of these pictures that we are posting, are coyotes with beloved cats and dogs in their mouths. Most rural areas where coyotes roam, don't have natural enemies in the area. Protect your dogs and cats when outside especially.

What can’t this girl NOT do? If you’re around today, give her a shout and tell her what an amazing individual she is!

Happy LAST YEAR OF ADOLESCENCE Jessie! We love your guts!!!

Say Happy Birthday to our newest addition! Though she’s coming up on nearly a year of employment, it feels like she’s been a part of the family for much longer. Janna is our cat whisperer who just recently adopted her first dog (welcome to THAT nuthouse). If you’re in today (or the next few days) make sure you give her a shout out and make her feel as young as she actually is. Happy 28 years young Janna!
