It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of former K9 Deputy Artus.

From 2014 to 2019, Artus faithfully served the people of Montgomery County as the K9 partner to Corporal Trevor Keller. Together, they worked side by side in service of public safety, forming a bond that extended far beyond the job.

Following his well-earned retirement in 2019, Artus remained a beloved member of the Keller family, enjoying his years surrounded by those who cared for him most.

The MCSO is grateful for Artus’ years of loyal service. His impact will not be forgotten.

We extend our condolences to Corporal Keller and the Keller family. 🐾
