K9 Grizzly retires from Grant County Sheriff’s Office

GRANT CO., Wash. — Grant County Sheriff’s Office wishes a happy retirement to their four-legged friend Grizzly.

Grizzly was the first K9 in service for the Sheriff’s Office, and his tenure began four years ago. The Office says he helped capture numerous suspects, and even helped to find a missing person with dementia.

In a ceremony with the Grant County Commissioners, a resolution was signed, retiring Grizzly and authorizing his sale to Deputy De La Rosa, who he will be living out his retirement with.

“Grizzly was a tremendous asset to the Sheriff’s Office, but glad he gets to enjoy retirement,” said Sheriff Tom Jones.

De La Rosa himself will remain a K9 handler, and will be charged with K9 Hawk, who recently got certified.
