Oh, What a Night! Happy Hour for KYK9
Frances and Tyler Thompson sure know how to throw a party! Great food, gregarious guests and a warm and welcoming home, with a beautiful English garden and pool overlooking a peaceful Ohio River sunset, made for a wonderful evening! And, the weather was amazing!
Missing Child Found Alive
On Wednesday, a young child went missing from school. On the hottest day of the year to date, the child was missing for over 5 hours. K9 Scout, K9 Remy and K9 Pocket were given the child’s homework to take scent and follow the child’s trail.
Yes Pocket, Reindeer Really Know How to Fly
The day before Christmas, I learned that during a recent pre-holiday training seminar, Pocket was not only honing her search dog skills, but was also engaged in stealth reindeer workouts.
Searching for $cents Annual Fund Drive
In 1764, French philosopher Voltaire wrote “It seems that nature has given the dog to man for his defense and for his pleasure. Of all the animals it is the most faithful: it is the best friend man can have.”
KYK9 Receives Recognition
Jennifer Jordan Hall, Director of KYK9, has been nominated by Today's Woman's as one of the Most Admired Woman in Community Service in Louisville, KY.
A Holiday Message
Brooke, 19, went missing less than a month after she graduated from high school.
Pennies for Pocket
This year KYK9's annual fund drive focuses on raising money to train KYK9's newest dog, Blackbriar's Master Pickpocket.
Introducing Blackbriar's Master Pickpocket!
Born in February, Pocket is a Parson Russell Terrier from Blackbriar Terriers Kennel in Connecticut. She was picked as the best pup for search work based on her temperament, drive and structure.
Parents' Place
“I strongly believe that there is great need in our community to build awareness about KYK9 and how it can be used to find your missing loved one, child or adult. I am looking forward to working with Jennifer and the KYK9 team to help bring awareness to what KYK9 has to offer our community.” - Lori Wilson, Parent and KYK9 Board Member
Summer Camp
This year KYK9 participated in Dreams with Wings Summer Camps, one for children with autism and other for children with Down Syndrome. Collaborating with Nathalie Green, owner and riding instructor at TRAIL Therapy Horses, we spent two days at her farm in Simpsonville, KY.
