(LaPorte, IN) - A four legged member of the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office is retiring. Jager, a K-9 dog with the department for eight-years, will be retiring in the coming weeks due to health issues, LaPorte County Sheriff John Boyd said.
Boyd’s request for $15,500 to purchase a new dog along with equipment and training was unanimously approved Monday night by the La Porte County Council.
Boyd said the german shepherd is about 10-years old.
