Oregon State Police is asking Oregon kids to help name its newest K-9.
OSP has a new one-year-old red Labrador Retriever that will join their fellow K-9 colleagues Scout and Drake as a part of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation K-9 program.
Oregon youth aged 9 to 17 can help name the new dog. OSP is looking for names that are wildlife, fish, or outdoors-related.
Entries may be submitted through June 14 and open to Oregon youth aged 9 to 17. Only one entry may be submitted per youth, and entries must be submitted using the OSP online entry form. The winner will get a chance to meet the K-9.
The new K-9 will be based in La Grande and support teams based in Bend and Springfield.
The Conservation K-9 program is a collaboration between OSP and the Oregon Wildlife Foundation. Dogs are trained to identify wildlife and help search for illegal take of birds, wildlife, and fish around the state.
