It is with a heavy heart that we inform everyone of the passing of one our K9s, Hogan. He will be greatly missed. We pay homage to his outstanding service spanning over nine years. More than a partner, he was a cherished family member. They bravely serve us so "others may live." Rest easy big guy.

Back at the rubble piles, all the pups did admirably, but Leah's pup proved to be particularly gifted. Thank you to Twinsburg Development on Treat Road in Aurora

We are sad to say one of our former member's search and rescue K9s passed away early yesterday morning .. K9 Jaeger passed away with his handler by his side.

Jaeger had many deployments over the years for evidence recovery and requests to search for human remains.

Jaeger was an asset to the communities he served through our northeastern Ohio.

Rest in peace, we have it from here. Please keep Jaegers handler FF Dave Davis in your thoughts during this difficult time.
