Pasco Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit is one of the largest and most diversely skilled K-9 units in Florida. It’s comprised of multiple handler and K-9 teams, all serving a specific purpose. These teams have a variety of skills, including tracking missing people, finding drugs, explosives or accelerants, locating human remains and providing comfort for those in crisis. K-9s are vital to PSO, as they can perform tasks that humans cannot or that would take significant manpower and time to achieve the same result.

Each K-9 is selected for their handler based on drive, personality and home life compatibility, as all of PSO’s K-9s live at the handler’s home as part of their family. Most K-9s and their handlers undergo over 400 hours of training before becoming a certified team. They continue to train weekly to ensure they remain at the top of their skillset. All of PSO’s K-9s serve the citizens of Pasco with eagerness and enthusiasm, and only ask for a toy and praise as their rewards.

K-9s require significant funds for care, equipment and training. The money to purchase, train and equip all of PSO’s K-9s comes from donations from businesses, community groups and citizens. None of the money for PSO’s K-9s comes from taxpayer dollars.

If you’re interested in donating the funds to purchase, train and equip a K-9 for Pasco Sheriff’s Office, please email charities@pascosheriff.org for more information and to begin the process.

Even after a K-9 retires, they still require vet care and maintenance. PSOs K-9s remain with their handlers after retirement, and donations help fund this care for the rest of a K-9’s life.

You can make a difference in the life of K9, who selflessly served the citizens of Pasco County, by donating here today!

Retired K-9s

Thank you to these K-9s that have faithfully served Pasco County. K-9s live with their handlers as pets upon retirement. They are provided with medical care and more for the rest of their lives, free of charge to the handler, thanks to generous community donations. Pasco Sheriff K-9 Association is grateful for each of these K-9s’ dedicated and selfless service to the citizens of Pasco County.
