Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office Bloodhound Team Help Locate Missing Juvenile! Cpl. Steven Sella and K9 Zoe responded to help locate a juvenile who had run away from a group home 3 hours prior. Cpl. Sella collected a scent article and deployed K9 Zoe, a scent discriminate Bloodhound from the youth’s last known location. Zoe immediately established the trail and followed the scent through several challenging environments including heavy semi-truck traffic and rural areas with distractions and hazards commonly found in the area that included wild hogs, deer, snakes, and alligators.
Despite these challenges, K-9 Zoe remained committed to the track without hesitation or indication of distraction. Zoe followed the scent trail to a residential property several miles from the juvenile's point of disappearance. The missing youth was located asleep on the home’s lanai and was recovered safely without incident.
Cpl. Sella is a Scent Evidence K9 Master Handler with dozens of missing person recoveries and suspect locations to his credit and was the #2 Top Performing K9 Team in our Top Dogs (and Handlers) list for 2025. Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office is a long-time participating Florida Bringing The Lost Home Program and Kevin and Avonte grant partner. Great Trailing work Cpl. Sella and K9 Zoe and thanks to Charlotte County Sheriff's Office for their commitment to creating a safer community!

Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office K9 Team Locates Vehicle Breaking and Entering Suspect! Dep. Andrew Nichter and K9 Taro responded to a report of a Breaking and Entering into a motor vehicle on 5/25/26. Once on scene it was determined that multiple vehicles had been broken into in the area. A witness saw the suspect run behind some homes after exiting a vehicle and Dep. Nichter deployed K9 Taro from the place the suspect was last seen. K9 Taro located a set of keys and a hat along the trail. K9 Taro began to get tired, so Dep. Nichter gave him a break while a second dog continued the trail. At that time, a perimeter unit observed a truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed and attempted a traffic stop after the vehicle ran a red light. The suspect jumped and ran from the vehicle after driving down a dead-end road. Dep. Nichter arrived and deployed K9 Taro from the driver’s side door of the truck. The North Carolina K9 Team trailed through thick brush, woods, and back yards. Deputies in the area heard sticks breaking in the wood line ahead of the K9 team and began to give K9 warnings. The suspect gave up and was taken into custody. It was later discovered that the suspect had stolen the truck from the neighborhood of the Breaking and Entering occurrences.
Great Trail Dep. Nichter and K9 Taro! Thanks to Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, NC for their commitment to creating a safer community! To learn more about scent discriminate K9 trailing visit ScentEvidenceK9.com

Glen Pedersen and K9 Honey of New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office responded to help locate a missing man who had wandered from his residence 4 hours prior.

“MD Pedersen and K9 Honey used their trailing skills to help place search resources in the right area of the missing man and confirmed his direction of travel. They play a vital role in the teamwork necessary for a speedy recovery,” stated Scent Evidence K9 CEO, Paul Coley.
This is the 20th confirmed trail by SEK9 Master Handler Glen Pedersen and K9 Honey!

Kissimmee PD Bloodhound Team Use Scent Collection Techniques to Trail Suspect. Officer Kyle Bywater and K9 Duchess, a scent discriminate Bloodhound, responded to help locate a female teen battery suspect who fled the scene on 5/17/26. The trail was 1.5 hours old when Ofc. Bywater used the absorption method to collect a scent article from the teens’ pillow. The suspect was last seen leaving through a sliding glass door of the residence. Ofc. Bywater presented the scent article to K9 Duchess and deployed from the backyard of the house. K9 Duchess trailed 1 mile through several neighborhoods to a hotel. Duchess walked up a flight of stairs to the second story of the hotel, sniffed the door handle to a room, and sat down. Officers knocked on the door and the suspect’s boyfriend’s father answered and confirmed that the suspect had just left the area, possibly in a car. At the time of the report, the investigation was ongoing.
