Zara is a confident, high drive Belgian Shepherd with a huge personality and an excellent work ethic. On duty, she is focused, intense, and eager to work and please her handler. Off duty, Zara is still all gas, no brakes. She is cracked out playful, extremely social, and loves being around her handler, family, and friends. There is truly no such thing as personal space when Zara is around. She does not sit next to you, she sits on you. Zara’s favorite way of saying hello is her signature body slam greeting. She will get a full head of steam, jump up, and greet family and friends with an enthusiastic body slam hug, which is her way of showing affection. Zara’s number one favorite toy of all time is a tennis ball, and once it is thrown, nothing is going to stand in the way of her getting it. She has not met a piece of furniture she cannot get over, around, or through to reach her tennis ball. Zara is loyal, intelligent, energetic, and brings positivity to everyone she meets. She has quickly become not only a valuable asset to the department, but also a beloved member of the family.Unfortunately, PSD Zara has not received any formal awards yet, as she was just certified and deployed to the field last week. However, within her first week on the street, including approximately 45 minutes into her first shift, Zara has already proven to be a valuable asset by assisting in a homicide investigation. She completed an article search which helped locate evidence and conducted a track that led officers to the rear of a residence, where a homicide suspect was ultimately taken into custody.
