K9 Rollo 🐾
SPD K9 Rollo served the City of Sacramento for 9 years. After he retired with his handler and family at home, his days consisted of many naps and swimming in the pool. Rollo enjoyed his retired life, but his heart was ‘going to work’ and he immediately perked up if he heard a police siren or helicopter.
During Rollo’s time in service, his care was covered by the Police Department and City. However once retired, he was fortunate to have the benefits of the Sacramento Police Canine Association - where all SPD retired canines receive lifelong food, medical, and veterinary expenses.
During Rollo’s retired years he needed an emergency surgery for a life-threatening condition, as well as another surgery to remove a mass in his spine. Both of these surgeries bought K9 Rollo ‘more time.’ More time with his handler at home, and more time to enjoy his days of well-earned retirement.
The SPD K9 Association also provides burial arrangements and internment for all SPD working dogs. K9 Rollo and all other SPD canines are buried at East Lawn’s Garden of Valor in the Sierra Hills Pet Cemetery.
