EVERETT, Wash., May 11, 2023—The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office updated the public that Drug Task Force K-9 Sully is “very tired but doing well,” after being found unresponsive following an early morning search today.

Earlier this morning, Drug Task Force K-9 Sully and his handler were assisting Skagit County with a search warrant service in Everett. After Task Force detectives cleared the apartment, K-9 Sully and his handler entered inside to conduct their search. The search took approximately 10 minutes and Sully indicated several areas inside the apartment for illegal drugs. The K-9 cop is trained in methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin.

K-9 Sully was returned to his vehicle while his K-9 partner went inside to conduct a second search. About 15 minutes passed, and K-9 Sully’s handler noticed a normally very hyper Sully unresponsive in his kennel.
