Needless to say, he was very excited to be part of the team! K-9 Valor is an 18-month-old, male, Belgian Malinois. Valor's law enforcement training took place in Holland and then continued in the U.S. He will serve the department as a K-9 in Patrol. The Belgian Malinois breed is smart, confident, hardworking, and steadfast loyal."
