Oneida County Sheriff’s Office introduces ‘Addie’ as their new Emotional Support Animal

ONEIDA COUNTY- A new member to the Sheriff’s Office has been unveiled.

‘Addie,’ a 10-week-old purebred Golden Retriever, has been assigned to the Domestic Violence and Mental Health Crisis Assessment Unit as an Emotional Support Animal.

*Correction: Addie is 10-weeks-old, not 10-months as mistakenly printed.*

Once trained, Addie will provide companionship to victims of crimes and others in crisis along with helping them deal with anxiety, depression, and certain phobias.

Investigator Edward Constantine will be Addie’s handler and she will reside with the investigator and his family when she’s not working.

Adirondack Bank is credited with assisting with the purchase of Addie, as CEO and President Rocco Arcuri presented Sheriff Rob Maciol with a $4,645.00 check during a special event this week.
