Two crisis canines training at Pella Community Ambulance received their certification over the weekend. Walter and Nitro graduated through the Team K9 Academy to become official crisis response dogs. Nitro trained with Jordan Schmitz and Walter did so with Chief Greg Higginbotham. He says the ambulance service has been partnering with Crisis Canines of the Midlands to have dogs available to help manage the stress of EMTs and paramedics.
