A donation was presented to the Washington County K-9 Fund at the recent Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting. Auditor Dan Widmer explained, a $100 donation was given by Bob Kennedy of Washington. Two years ago the Washington County Sheriff’s Office gained two K-9 officers, named Drako and Vasco. They began their work with the department in July of 2015. The two officers are trained for drug investigations, as well as search and rescue cases.
