Search and Rescue K-9s perform

Area search dogs took the stage at the Memphis Showcase of Dogs on Saturday, October 14, participating in a search dog demonstration presented by the Tennessee Search & Rescue Dog Association (TSARDA) to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The TSARDA dogs demonstrated a variety of search skills, including article search, urban mantrailing through a crowded public area, area search, and human remains detection (HRD).

Participants included Lisa Hiatt- Todd of Ashland with her bloodhound, Chloe; Deb Gibson of Collierville, Tenn. with her German shepherd, Tessa; Christine Herold of Trenton, Tenn., with her yellow laborador retriever, Sarah; Randy Hobson of Ashland with his yellow labrador retriever, Jody; Judy Otto of Holly Springs with her two Belgian tervuren, Clark Kent and Diana; and Julie Robbins of Germantown with her black labrador retriever, Madison.

Hiatt-Todd, Gibson, Otto and Robbins also serve with their K-9s on the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue Team.

TSARDA is a 501c.3 charitable organization which serves Tennessee and surrounding states, including the North Mississippi area. The West Tennessee Regional chapter currently has seven dog-handler teams that have received certifications from NASAR (the National Association for Search & Rescue) confirming competence in wilderness area search and human remains detection. Eight other TSARDA trainee dog-handler teams are preparing for NASAR testing soon.

Qualified TSARDA K-9 teams serve at no cost, responding to requests from law enforcement and emergency service organizations to assist with lost and missing person cases.

Volunteers are always welcome to assist in the training of the dogs. To volunteer, donate funds or resources, or to request further information about TSARDA, contact Judy Otto, TSARDA West Region Coordinator, at 252-1004.

Hunters should practice safety

He shot an arrow into the air. It Building fell to earth --- right into a big, black Labrador retriever.

A gentleman called the Marshall County Humane Society last week asking for help. A dog with an arrow sticking out of it had wandered up into his yard. The dog was gentle, friendly and in serious pain. Thanks to that good citizen the dog was rescued, the arrow removed and the wound treated. The dog is recovering nicely and was obviously someone’s pet. If you are missing a black Lab, call 662-564-2900, identify the dog and we’ll be happy to reunite you.

We’ll return the arrow too if the shooter would care to claim it. Of course, there’s a lecture that goes with that. Other than having four legs, that dog didn’t look anything like a deer. My dad used to dread deer season because he’d always lose a cow or two.

To all the hunters, please don’t shoot at everything that moves; leave the dogs and cows alone. If you’re that bad a shot, you need to go practice in a safe place before you’re turned loose in the woods.

If you live out in the country and let your dogs roam freely, this is a good reason to build them a fence. It’s deer season and bows and arrows are just the beginning. The guns come out soon and, whether it’s the result of ineptitude or meanness, some of the bullets hit nondeer creatures. Keep your pets, livestock and children up and, if you insist on taking a walk in the woods, you had better be dressed in hunter’s orange.

Next Tuesday is the Humane Society’s regular monthly meeting at 6 p.m. at the public library in Holly Springs. You don’t have to be a member to attend. We welcome everyone to join us and share your opinions and problems.

If your pets need to be spayed or neutered and your budget is tight, call 662-252-6196 for an appointment at the Humane Society sponsored, low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic. We have grants to help those who qualify.

For information on adoptions, fostering and everything but the Spay/Neuter Clinic, call 662-564- 2900. Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.

Welcome home Tony!

Tony Gadd of Potts Camp returned home Saturday from Seattle, Wash., where he has been for the past three and a half months undergoing a bone marrow transplant and therapy. Saturday, a welcoming committee was assembled along the drive to his home. Because of the medicine he must take, Tony’s resistance to infection is low and he must wear a surgical mask and is not allowed in a crowd. Visitors are also restricted. Fund-raising events have been held throughout the county during his absence to help defray the expenses of the operation and therapy and the living expenses of his family, who has been with him throughout his entire stay.
