It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of retired K9 Jonah.
Jonah served the State of Vermont faithfully for years alongside his handler, Tyler Jacobs. Beginning his career with the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department in 2015, Jonah and Tyler later transferred to the Vermont DMV Enforcement and Safety Division in 2020, making history as the agency’s first dual-purpose K9 team.
Throughout his career, K9 Jonah truly made a difference. He was instrumental in locating missing people, tracking criminal suspects, and taking narcotics off our streets. After retiring in December 2023 at nearly ten years old, Jonah spent his final months exactly where he belonged; at home, relaxing and being loved unconditionally by his family.
Our thoughts are with the Jacobs family as they say goodbye to a loyal partner and beloved family member. Thank you for your service, Jonah. Rest easy, good boy.
