MEET K9 GERTY
Our search dog. Our education partner. Our proof that this mission is real.
Who She Is
Gerty is a trained scent-discriminate bloodhound, sourced and trained through Scent Evidence K9. Bloodhounds are the gold standard in human scent detection, built to track a specific individual's scent over distance and time, not just alert to a general area. That precision is what makes her useful for both education and search work.
What She Does Today
Gerty travels with our team to schools, scout groups, churches, and civic events. She's a hands-on way to open the door to serious conversations about trafficking and personal safety, giving kids and parents something real and memorable instead of just a lecture.
Her Handler
Gerty works with her trained handler, Andrew Fivecoat. Together, they're equipped to support missing-person searches, using Gerty's scent-detection training to assist when called on.
Why It Matters
Most awareness campaigns talk. Gerty shows up. She's a working asset, not a mascot, trained for a real job and ready when the call comes. Gerty is proof that Blue Haven isn't just talking about protecting people. We're trained, equipped, and ready to act.
