Pictured is Fillmore Rotary President Andy Klittich with Deputy Javier Rodriguez and his K-9 Jago. Deputy Rodriguez shared with the group that he has been with the Department for 13 years and has been a handler for six months. The group learned there are only six K-9’s in the county and all have been hand-picked in Germany. Specific dogs are chosen for the area they will be working in. Each handler must train their dog and pay for all the dogs expenses, but do receive some help from the K-9 nonprofit Foundation. Jago is 19 months old and a German shepherd. He will be a working dog for 6-7 years before he is retired. Photo courtesy Martha Richardson.
