Beau-narcotics detection K-9

[Joe Maringo]

We have placed our first dog to be trained as a narcotics detection dog.



Beau was basically a "throw away" lab that was passed from one rescue to another. At one point he was going to be destroyed. I was ask to take him in and give him a chance. I found him to be a wonderful lab who was happy and wanted to learn.


I tried to give him a little special attention each day and he began to calm down and respond to the love and kindness he was receiving.



About a month ago I was contacted by a trainer who was looking for a dog for drug detection work. Jason came out and evaluated Beau and found him to be EXACTLY what he was looking for.



They train with a rolled up rag and Beau really had the drive needed to start his training. After about a month of talking and working around both of our vacations, Jason came out today and picked up Beau.



Beau will live with Jason for several months while he is in training. Then, when he is certified, he will move on to his new handler, a 26 year old officer with an Ohio police dept. I will be invited to attend Beau's certification and will get regular updates on the big busts he makes.

I have said from the first time meeting him that Beau was a dog who needed a job, well now he has one. Good luck my boy! I hope you have a long and stellar carere
