Shaker Heights City Council held a special meeting to consider whether to amend the city’s administrative code and allow the sale of police dogs, under certain conditions.

Members of the city council voted to allow K-9 Igor to be purchased by Ofc. Chad Hagan over a Zoom meeting at noon Friday.

Members said in the meeting that ownership will be transferred to Hagan Friday and that he may pick up the dog that day.

The city agreed to transfer ownership of the SHPD K-9 in return for funding of a replacement police dog and training for the dog and another officer through a police dog kennel.
