"Ficko Started his career with me in the winter of 2014. we came together in Lackland Texas as part of the TSA explosive detection program attached to the MTPD K9 unit. Ficko was an energetic pup who loved to play fetch and tug. Early in his career while doing a search of a rock quarry Ficko took off into the woodline and diverted from searching for explosives and came back over a tall grass hill with a fifteen pound groundhog in his mouth and brought it to my feet. He has always been a great hunter. He has enjoyed protecting the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area over the last 8 years always willing and happy to come to work. His favorite toy was a jute tug. Now he loves kongs with peanut butter."

Finn is a retired dual purpose Belgian Malinois who proudly served as the sole K-9 for the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia from 2015-2018. Finn was imported from the Czech Republic before being purchased by the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office and assigned to his partner, Deputy Dave Sparnroft. This K-9 team attended the arduous Multi-Purpose Canine Training course at K-2 Solutions in Southern Pines, NC and subsequently certified in all disciplines through the International Police Work Dog Association, the North American Police Work Dog Association, and the Virginia Police Work Dog Association. Once certified, K-9 Finn and Deputy Sparnroft had an immediate impact by assisting their fellow officers in getting drugs off of the streets and locating suspects. This team also participated in many community events by demonstrating the capabilities of a dual-purpose K-9 team. In 2017, Deputy Sparnroft had a daughter born with special needs and had to leave the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Barry Letterman (retired) and then Major Donald Simpson (now Sheriff) advocated for Deputy Sparnroft and granted Finn an early retirement so that he could stay his family in his forever home. Finn has settled into retired life and is a great family member to his now 5-year-old sister. Finn has traveled to the beach where he likes to run in the waves and has hiked up to the mountains of Virginia for a family picnic and off-leash “zoomy” session. Finn lives for bacon or peanut butter treats, road trips, and any chance to chew on his Kong toy (or his sister’s stuffed animals). Finn is a loved family member and deserves the best – even in retirement.

K9 Jade has spent almost her entire life with the Harrodsburg Police Department. She came to us when she was only a few weeks old and was assigned to me. We began training when she was old enough and she became certified without any troubles. K9 Jade patrolled with me for the extent of her career with the Harrodsburg Police Department and helped in numerous drug seizures. K9 Jade has also assisted other agencies in locating narcotics when called upon. It has now reached the bittersweet point in K9 Jade's career for her to retire. So far, K9 Jade has not got to travel much, but we hope to change that soon! Being a Lab, K9 Jade is not very picky when it comes to treats and will help clean the kitchen floor if you are not fast enough. K9 Jade is an avid sleeper and able to make herself comfortable even when there is not enough room. She also loves to swim, play in the snow, and play with tennis balls, Chuck-It balls, and frisbee's. She is very affectionate with a heart of gold that can win anyone over.
