#VestedInterestinK9s loves this story of shelter #dog to #policedog! Check out #PlainfieldPd's most recent #K9.
"PLAINFIELD — The Plainfield Police Department gained a #K9officer this week with their adoption of Echo from the #Hendricks County Animal Shelter.
Echo, a Belgian #Malinois, just the department after the training of #officer Rob Prichard, who went to a 10-week program that certifies an officer to identify and evaluate potential shelter dogs that would be good candidates to become police K9s.
Prichard is now able to to train Echo and train his new handler, officer TJ Peters.
“We are excited to welcome Echo, a #BelgianMalinois, to our department through our new K9 Rescue Initiative,” said Chief of Police, Kyle Prewitt. “It means that much more considering we typically spend $10,000 to $15,000 per dog. With this new initiative, we will not only save taxpayer dollars, but we are also rescuing these #dogs from an uncertain future at the shelter.”
“This all started with some research by Officer Prichard and providing a presentation to our administration on his vision for the future. His love and compassion for dogs coupled with a strong relationship with the Hendricks County Animal Shelter also contributed to making this happen,” said Deputy Chief Joe Aldridge.
The mission of the PPD Canine Section is to provide a trained police canine to assist in the prevention and detection of crimes, locating persons and evidence sought by the police, the promotion of a favorable public image of the police department, and working to better the lives of these shelter dogs..."

"... #OSHKOSH, #Wisconsin. (WBAY) - The Oshkosh Police Department (#OPD) is saddened by the passing of Oshkosh Police K9 “Lando”.
He became unexpectedly ill and it was discovered that he had an autoimmune disease, Myasthenia Gravis. Medical staff tried to treat this illness but “Lando” was not responding to the treatments and had to be euthanized on the afternoon of June 3, 2023, according to a statement released by OPD.
“Lando”, a #GermanShepherd, was born on July 26, 2016 and was acquired by the #OshkoshPD in March 2018 from K9 Services located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was assigned to Officer Fettig from 2018-2020 and to #Officer Martinez from 2020-current.

I can't count the # of window screens my GSD girl has taken out!😖 Very first morning she was here-7 months old. 6 GSDs before her, none ever went through a screen. I got in the shower but heard a RRRRRIP. I jumped out to see her tail exiting front window through tattered screen. Threw on shorts & tee shirt, grabbed phone & sprinted after her, barefoot & dripping. She'd already been in 2 fosters so home wasn't "home" yet to her. Saw her disappear around the corner, heard barking around the 3 block stretch of the street behind me. Sent neighborhood FB message, called cops to be on lookout & decided to go home to get car. When I was close to my house, she came loping back & turned in my driveway. "I HOME, HOOMAN!" Now front windows stay shut! (The hub still forgets.)
Lol. That’s hilarious. And I’m sure very true. Gotta love them.
I put a big red X with duck tape on the screen.
When you’re that cute, you can get away with shenanigans.
Years ago we had new sliding doors put in. Five minutes after the screen door was added, our shepherd/husky decided to take a shortcut to the back yard and went right through the screen. Lol.
So my Danka did that one time because we have never had a screen door. And when we did, I got one of those magnetic ones where they can come in and out of so yeah, they throw the crap out of the first one silly girls
Beautiful Shepherd
Soooo proud 😁🐾
Love it!!!!!!!!!
Good dog!
Fantastic!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful job baby
We called our puppy Troubles since he went thru screen door TWICE in one week. We loved him anyway lol
I have screen on sliders. When I open door I put child fence there do my 75lb lab doesn't go through.
Gotta love dogs.☺️
Love it!
O my sorry about your Door, life with a Shepherd. 😂🤣
Baby is gorgeous.. <3
Good one hilarious
lol. Happened to me too. Just got the retractable screen door put up and my boxer boy went right through it…..
Like it nice puppy
Haha but with a beautiful face like that I don’t think dad could get to cross lol ❤️❤️
That’s your job isn’t it little one 🐾🐾💕💞
Screen door we don't need some stupid screen door
Mine did that but on the other end was a guy running from him.
