Background Information:
K-9 Rogue has served the Tehama County and Modoc County Sheriff’s Office's as a law-enforcement service animal and is retiring from law enforcement due to his age.
Consistent with long-standing Sheriff’s Office practice and established K-9 program standards, retired service canines are offered to their handlers whenever feasible, in recognition of the bond developed through years of service and in consideration of the best interests of the animal. It is respectfully recommended that Rogue be provided to his Handler of nine years for the fair market value of $1.00. Accordingly, upon the Handler’s execution and return of this agreement, along with payment of $1.00, the County will relinquish all title and ownership of rights, officially transferring Rogue to his handler.
