The Grant County Sheriff’s Department is getting two dogs to join their staff. According to a report, one of the dogs is a therapy dog, a goldendoodle named Zelda, and the other is a working dog, a German Shepherd mix, named Vezer. County supervisors were made aware of the new additions at this month’s meeting. Purchasing and training Zelda will cost the department around $5,000, with a recent community fundraiser bringing around $2,100. Some potential scenarios in which Zelda could be used include sending her along on crisis calls where upset kids or community members could be present, such as a car crash or a fire. Zelda could be joining the department in mid-August. Vezer is in training after the recent retirement of K-9 Riko.
