Search & Rescue K-9 Team

Ziva is a black German Shepherd who was born in Arkansas. She is owned and trained by Vicky Copeland who is also a volunteer with North Spartanburg Fire Department. Vicky acquired Ziva when she was just one year old from her breeder Jim McEuen. Vicky started Ziva's training as an area search dog in September 2010. Ziva has been trained to find missing people. Once located Ziva will return and give a trained indication to alert Vicky that she has found the person. Ziva will then lead Vicky to that person.
