Please Welcome K-9 Kees!
Please welcome retired Police K-9 “Kees” into our Pack as our 273rd Program Member. K-9 Kees served with honor and distinction for ten years at the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, IL, as a Dual-Purpose Patrol/Narcotics Detection K-9. During his tenure, Kees had a very successful career as a working dog, with a multitude of tracking arrests, and narcotic finds and seizures, while protecting his community and the State of Illinois.
K-9 Kees handler drove him to our Project K-9 Hero Rehabilitation and Rehoming Facility to transition him into our care. Kees quickly took a liking to our staff, exercise area, and his new custom indoor/outdoor kennel that once housed K-9 Koda for over two years. Kees was extremely social and friendly with everyone the minute he arrived.
Kees is a Hero that does not have any major behavioral issues; it was simply a case of the Handler being reassigned to Patrol and SWAT, having family commitments with his children, and not having the time to properly interact with Kees daily so he could enjoy his well-deserved retirement. We commend his Handler for wanting the best life for his partner, and recognizing that him being away home for 14-16 plus hours a day at a time doesn’t give Kees the attention he deserves.
Project K-9 Hero is extremely honored to be a trusted resource for the national law enforcement and the professional canine training community when a Hero like Kees needs our help the most with rehabilitation or rehoming.
Please take a moment to welcome Kees into our pack, and look for him to graduate from our program and become available in a very short period of time. It is because of your support and donations Kees no longer has to worry about needing to find a home, we will make sure we find one with an adopter that has plenty of time just for him, along with providing his medical care for the rest of his LIFE!
