Dispatchers at the Fayette County 911 Center on Feb. 19 knew they would be getting a four-legged visitor. The surprise they learned about after the female pitbull mix puppy arrived was that it would have a temporary home at the center for the next few weeks as part of the new “Headset Heelers” program initiated by the 911 center and the Fayette County Animal Shelter. Fayette County 911 Director Katye Vogt said it was Assistant Director Amber Smith who got the ball rolling and contacted Animal Control Director Jerry Collins. Smith named the joint venture “Headset Heelers,” said Fayette County Clerk Tameca White. She and Collins both noted how the exposure will benefit dispatchers by alleviating some of the job stress and help the puppy who will benefit from the socialization.
