Atlanta officials make repairs to help police office housing canines
Emergency repairs were made to help a police office constructing that houses police canines. Authorities said as the atmosphere condition did shut away from, the dogs were situated inside basement kennel together with proper temperatures maintained.
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. – Emergency repairs have been made to an Atlanta Police Department airport office.
The building houses special operations units, the canine handlers and their dogs.
The repairs needed because the air conditioning went out. Sources tell FOX 5 it is a chronic problem but airport management, which is responsible for maintenance, will not disclose how long the building was hot.
In the basement of the building that is located in College Park are kennels for the canines.
A spokesperson says appropriate temperatures were maintained in the basement and the canines never were in danger of experiencing excessive heat in the building.
Law enforcement dogs tend to be sturdier than the average household pet. It is because they’re more accustomed to being out in all types of weather, according to veterinarians.
Nonetheless, police are using extra care during the temperatures where it feels like 100 degrees, even more when you are outside.
Should a household pet demonstrate excessive panting, which is how canines perspire, veterinarians recommend wrap them in a cool towel, not an icerapidfilled towel.
The cooling should be gradual.
As for the APD place of work, all the units will be moved next door once a new building the fact that is underneath construction is finished.

The Atlanta Braves are in the process of getting a slew of arms healthy for the big-league club. However, it’s not just the likes of Ian Anderson and AJ Smith Shawver that are working back to full strength, former 2022 first-round pick JR Ritchie will begin his rehab assignment this week as well according to a source.
Ritchie is scheduled to pack his bags for the Braves’ Single-A affiliate August GreenJackets, a source told BravesSI. The GreenJackets have been in the news recently, because that’s where Anderson got a start this week.
The plan now is for Anderson to start on Saturday night in Augusta, and then Ritchie will take his place on the roster as Anderson takes the next step towards getting back to Atlanta. Anderson was strong in his third-rehab start and appears ready to move at least one step up the Braves’ ladder.
Ritchie underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. He was throwing partners with Anderson as they were on similar timetables with the same injury.
He’s made three appearances with the FCL Braves including July 4th. He hadn’t allowed an earned run in his previous-two appearances, but was roughed up by the FCL Pirates in 2.1 innings for five-earned runs on Thursday. Ritchie walked three batters, but he also struck out four of his nine outs.
The Braves liked what they saw from Ritchie enough to move him to Augusta where he should get a start next week.
Ritchie was the 35th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, and celebrated his 21st birthday last week.
