K9 Arko served the citizens of Ashtabula, Ohio for over 6 years. He kept the officers and citizens in his community safe with 12 physical apprehensions and countless non-physical apprehensions during his career. K9 Arko also detected large quantities of illegal drugs including meth, heroin, fentanyl, and much more.. K9 Arko's ability to "turn off" his work mode made him the perfect K9 to attend public events and schools where he received lots of love and attention from children.
