Avis is a female black Labrador. She was procured by the USDA National Detector Dog Training Center in Newnan, GA, from Pacific Coast K9 in Custer, WA. Avis was just a year and a half old when she was partnered with her handler, Jacqueline Zelon. Since then, they have been an effective team. After training for two months and graduating from the USDA National Detector Dog Training Center in May 2024, they were deployed to San Diego County.

Avis loves to work just as much as she loves to play. When she is not working, she enjoys playing catch, jumping in water, and going on long runs through parks!
