K-9 Hoover Retires 🐾

We celebrate one of our very special Find-M’ Friends graduates, K-9 Hoover, as he begins a well-deserved retirement. 💙

After 4½ years of dedicated service with Bedford County and countless missions, Hoover is medically retiring from duty. From the time he came to Find-M’ Friends as a young bloodhound to the incredible K-9 he became, we have been so proud to watch his journey unfold.

Hoover’s determination, incredible nose, and unwavering dedication made him an exceptional tracking partner for Sgt. Hall. Together, they have spent years serving their community, helping families, and putting Hoover’s amazing abilities to work when they were needed most.

A huge thank you to Sgt. Hall and the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office for giving Hoover such a wonderful home, partnership, and career. We are grateful for the care, dedication, and countless hours they have invested in him.

Hoover, you have made us proud every step of the way. Your working days may be over, but your legacy will always be a part of the Find-M’ Friends family.

Happy retirement, Hoover! You’ve earned it, buddy. 🐾❤️

This is 8-month-old Frog doing one of his first “high finds”! 🐾🌳

He had a great alert and then jumped right into the tree after his person! 😂🐶

This was supposed to be a test for BOTH hound and handler. A “double-blind” trail, meaning neither the hound, handler, nor anyone following behind knew exactly where the trail would lead.

But Jolene? She already knew exactly where her person was! 😂🐾

This is a fun little exercise we use to keep both our handlers and hounds on their toes and always thinking during training. Jolene was definitely ready for the challenge! ❤️
