“We believe that Kash was picked up by someone who does not know he is a missing police K9. We will continue to investigate leads. Today, we’re announcing a $1,000 incentive for his safe return,” officials posted.
The Sheriff’s Office provided key details of Kash’s disappearance and the search:
- He was last seen Oct. 21 when taken outside, unleashed, for a bathroom break
- He was donated to the Sheriff’s Office in September and is meant to attend training in January to become the first Davis County Corrections K9
- Kash is 1 year old and a German Shorthaired Pointer, unneutered and has a docked tail.
- He had not been microchipped or given tags that identified him as a K9 because he was so new to the department.
- He has been searched for by drone and ground search in “Farmington City,he Waterfowl Management area, Farmington Canyon, and surrounding areas.”
- Fliers have been hung and animal shelters across the Wasatch Front have been made aware.
Officials said, “An administrative review is ongoing to determine how we can prevent a situation like this moving forward.”
The office asked that if anyone is aware of Kash’s whereabouts to call Davis County dispatch, send a message on Facebook, or take him to Animal Care of Davis County.
