A Heartfelt Thank You to Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue

First and foremost, we extend our gratitude to Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue for providing dogs with a second chance and a new purpose!

K9 Handler Corporal Faith Dabbs has made us exceptionally proud by not only finding a new K9 for our department but also by securing a rescued dog already trained for police work. We are excited to introduce our newest police officer, K9 Ranger. In recent weeks, Cpl. Dabbs and Ranger have trained together daily, braving the biting cold and snowfall of central Indiana. We are confident that both will become invaluable assets to our team moving forward. Congratulations to you both on graduating from Redemption Ranch K9 Rescue and earning your certification!

Coming Soon
Get ready for the tail-wagging tale of K9 Ranger… Stay tuned!

We understand that school traffic is a common problem at almost every school. The first week is always a challenge, but as the week progresses, we will make adjustments as needed. Please be patient and allow the first few days to pass. If you live on Springfield Rd, we are working with the school to improve traffic flow and mitigate congestion.
