A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay medical bills for a retired Police K9.  7-year old Remington was certified in narcotics detection and part of the Torrington Police Department.  Remi retired just last month and started to loose coordination in his hind legs last weekend. 

Remi was brought to the emergency animal hospital in Newtown and then transferred to an animal hospital in Shelton with a suspected spinal issue.  Remi underwent surgery Wednesday and remains in the ICU awaiting further surgeries, though the prognosis is good. 

The surgery and post operative care are going to cost up wards of around $9,200.

Remi was instrumental in solving numerous crimes including burglaries, robberies, assaults, DUIs. He assisted in countless drug and weapon seizures. In his career he located 8 missing children, 5 endanger adults, and more than 35 wanted persons.  He assisted many different local, state, and federal agencies throughout the state during his time on the road.
