He’s a 3-year-old German Shepherd born in Hungary in April 2021. K9 Creed began working with CSPD in March 2023 and is certified in narcotics detection and patrol work, including apprehension, tracking, and article location. He loves going to work, but when he’s off duty, he can often be found lying on his back at home. Creed loves attention and getting many pets. He’s often called “Big Friend,” but one should never mistake his kind nature for weakness. K9 Milo is surprisingly small for what a powerhouse he is as an apprehension and detection K9. At only 55 lbs., he’s answered 2,219 calls for service with 463 deployments and an impressive 164 surrenders since joining the force in 2019. When on the job, K9 Milo enthusiastically speeds into action at 31 mph. Off duty, Milo loves the simple joys in life – chasing his favorite ball, rolling in the grass, soaking up the sun, and getting neck scratches. WINNER: K9 Creed K9 Zev and K9 Luna Pixel K9 Zev is a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois patrol apprehension and narcotic detection dog who loves protecting the people of Colorado Springs. His favorite treats are Grandma Lucy’s Oven-baked Apple Cinnamon Dog Cookies. When not on duty, he enjoys playing ball, taking long walks, and watching the sunrise over the eastern plains. He also loves pup cups, which he gets when he’s an extra good boy. K9 Luna Pixel is a seven-year-old Labrador Retriever who has helped protect children in the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit (ICAC) for the last five years. She never backs down from a challenge and has an amazing sniffer that can detect electronics (cell phones, computers, SD cards, etc.). She loves her work, but she’s also a loving partner to her handler and co-workers, and really loves to play. She will only drop her toy for a cheese ball. WINNER: K9 Luna Pixel K9 Zena and K9 Loki K9 Zena is a Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd mix born in October of 2023 and weighs about 52 lbs. She’s new to CSPD, having joined the department in January, and is currently assigned to the Specialized Enforcement Division with the Regional Explosives Unit as a single-purpose Explosive Detection K9. She enjoys playing ball, going on runs, eating carrots, and watching soccer with her family while chewing on her favorite toy bone. K9 Loki is a Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd mix who was born in Holland in April 2023. He was certified in patrol and narcotics work and joined CSPD in April 2024. Loki loves to safeguard Colorado Springs and really enjoys acting as a co-pilot when riding around in the car for work. When off duty, he enjoys spending time with his family, getting belly rubs, and zooming around the backyard as fast as he can. WINNER: K9 Loki K9 Kai and K9 Riggs K9 Kai is a veteran K9, having worked with CSPD since 2019. He’s a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd mix who comes from Hungary. He is a dual-purpose K9 who loves to assist his human partners and has responded to hundreds of calls. He’s been able to bark convincingly at a hundred suspects, getting them to surrender safely. When not at work, he loves playing ball, hanging out with his sister Skylar, and going on runs. Because his handler knows he’s the best boy ever, Kai gets to enjoy a special monthly Barkbox treat, for which he is always excited. K9 Riggs is the second dog to make his debut in the second round. Originally from the Czech Republic, this 3-year-old Belgian Malinois loves going to work and does everything as fast as he can. When not working, he enjoys proving that there is no such thing as an "indestructible" Kong toy, as well as snacking on his favorite Hurricane Bites snacks. He's also a fan of playing soccer in the yard, eating fresh-caught fish, and snuggling with his family on the couch. WINNER: K9 Kai For those who want to vote for their favorite K9 during the Furry Final Four round, CSPD said the next matchup will be posted on Thursday, March 27. ...read more read less
