It is with heavy heart ❤️, that we report that Project K-9 Hero Program Member, K-9 “Onyx,” has passed away from health complications.
K-9 Onyx faithfully served the City of Alliance Police Department, Ohio, from 2015 to 2022, as a Dual-Purpose Patrol/Narcotics Detection K-9. During his career, Onyx was deployed over 500 times to apprehend dangerous criminals or seize illegal drugs. K-9 Onyx was also very involved in his community with demonstrations, public speaking, and events to help bridge the gap between the police officers and the public.
We were honored to assist this Hero in retirement when an emergency situation landed him in the ER this past summer. While he recovered from that incident, time eventually caught up with him physically, and he was laid to rest peacefully yesterday with his family.
We salute you Onyx for your service to your community and country 🇺🇸! We will not let you ever be forgotten! -
