Pasco Sheriff’s Office wishes a happy and healthy retirement to two of our K-9s: K-9 Farrell and K-9 Shep!

He was certified in both patrol work and narcotics detection, and earned the “Top Dog” award at a K-9 narcotics detection seminar in 2020. K-9 Farrell is a German Shepherd who was born on Nov. 4, 2015 in Czechia. In retirement, K-9 Farrell will remain with his partner, Cpl. Garcia and his current K-9 partner, K-9 Ripp, who began working at PSO in October of 2021. The funds for K-9 Farrell were generously donated by the Farrell family.
