K9 Hank Update

K9 Hank is recovering well so far! The attached picture is Hank on his way home from a check-up with his veterinarian.

We want to give a huge thank you to Dr. George Cline and Dr. Brittni Jones Moore at Parkway Animal Hospital in Sevierville. They performed emergency surgery on Hank Friday evening after he was shot. Because of their skill, expertise and caring, Hank made it through and is doing well!

We have had many people and organizations offer to bring and send treats and toys for Hank. While we certainly appreciate these gestures of caring, we ask that future donations for Hank instead be sent to the Sevier County Animal Care Center in Sevierville, 1040 Dolly Parton Parkway (sevieranimalcarecenter.com).

Thanks again for all of the get well wishes!

Glad to hear Hank is doing well! Many thanks to the Parkway Animal Hospital in Sevierville.

Yesterday evening, SPD K9 Hank, a Belgian Malinois, was shot while assisting officers attempting to make an arrest. Hank suffered a serious gunshot wound and underwent surgery at a local veterinary clinic. The surgery went well and Hank is now at home resting with his partner, Officer Jordan Paul.

Thanks so much to everyone for your concern and continued thoughts and prayers for a quick and full recovery.

Prayers for all involved, including our K9 buddy Hank.

RIP to Sevierville K9 Boris.

Happy Retirement Blitz!

Happy retirement, K-9 Blitz!! 🎉 The 10-year-old Belgian Malinois has been part of the Sevierville Police Department since 2014.

Thank you for your service.

Happy Retirement Freek, we wish you the best!

Today, we got to thank the amazing folks who sponsored the ballistic vests for our Sevier County Agency K9s and to present the vests to our hero pups! We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible. Thank you all for your support.
