OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) – Meet the latest addition to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office – K9 Claire!
Deputies say K9 Claire handed her Therapy Dog Training Certification on Tuesday and was awarded to the sheriff’s workplace in July by a grant from Louisville non-profit Dogs Helping Heroes.
“Dogs Helping Heroes rescues dogs from animal shelters and trains them to be service or therapy dogs,” says the sheriff’s workplace on social media. “To obtain certification, Claire, and her handler, DCSO Sergeant Tyler Free, have attended weekly training at Duffy’s Dog Training Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana, since July.”
Officials say Claire is a 2-year-old German Shepherd Belgium Malinois combine and was rescued from the Daviess County Animal Shelter the place she had been turned in as a stray.
We’re advised she will probably be used to assist division workers and different businesses with psychological well being consciousness and can reply to scenes of traumatic incidents.
When available, Claire can even be capable to go to native colleges, nursing properties and neighborhood occasions.
