FDNY K-9 UNIT The FDNY K-9 Unit was put into service in 2017 with just one dog. A second dog was added a year later, and by 2020, there were four new dogs. Today, there are a total of six dogs in the FDNY K-9 Unit. They are all rescue dogs who have been trained by Fire Marshal handlers to perform highly specialized functions for the FDNY. Five of the dogs are named after FDNY members who have died in the line of duty.

They are Bucca, named for Fire Marshal Ronald Bucca; Pete, named for Chief of Department Pete Ganci; Yadi, named after EMT Yadira Arroyo; Judge, named after FDNY Chaplain Mychal Judge; and Ray, named after Chief Ray Downey. Howie is named for Captain Howie Venetsky, who died of World Trade Center-related illness.

The FDNY K-9 Unit dogs encompass the K-9 Accelerant Detection and Search and Rescue Team. Most commonly, they will be searching for gas or lighter fluid to help FDNY Fire Marshals determine the cause and origin of a fire. Thanks to their training, the dogs can pinpoint where the accelerant originated in a fire, and they can even find accelerant after it has been burned. The dogs are used to quickly clear a building by doing room-to-room searches, as well as other lifesaving tasks.

The FDNY K-9 unit has become increasingly important in recent years. The accelerant detection dogs complete three hundred hours of training, and then train every day with their handlers. They have become a valuable tool for FDNY Fire Marshals and are critical to the Department’s lifesaving mission.

CRISIS RESP ONSE CANINES Crisis Response Canines (CRC) is a nonprofit organization comprised of certified K9 teams throughout the United States. CRC’s mission is to provide strength, comfort, and emotional support to individuals, families, communities, and first responders experiencing intense traumatic emotions in the aftermath of critical incidents.

CRC members are volunteers who dedicate thousands of hours each year supporting their communities or, when needed, those impacted by crises. CRC Comfort teams serve as the foundation for visits to hospitals, schools, businesses, speaking engagements, and other community events. Recently teams responded to requests and were present during the 9/11 Memorial Museum’s 2022 Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony.

CRC Operational Deployment teams include highly trained and certified K9s and handlers with the capability to respond nationally. CRC handlers hold certifications from FEMA’s National Incident Command Structure Training and are trained in critical incident stress management (CISM) principles. CRC handlers also hold several required advanced certifications and participate in ongoing training. CRC canines also hold advanced certifications and go through extensive training processes. CRC uses a blended model of CISM and animal assisted crisis response (AARC); a model developed by John Hunt, cofounder and chief operating officer of CRC. These teams work effectively in crisis environments supporting individuals and communities affected by mass shootings, large-scale accidents, violence, abuse, tragic death, suicides, terrorism, natural disasters (fire, flood, hurricane, etc). Some (of the many) deployments include: Tree of Life Synagogue (shooting event), Surfside, Florida (condo collapse), Uvalde, Texas (mass shooting), Baltimore, Maryland (Firefighter line of duty deaths), and Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia (shooting event).

Dear Friends, It has been the honor and privilege of my lifetime to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center. To combine my experience in hospital leadership with my passion for animals and call it a “job” was a dream come true. My 12 years here have truly been a gift.

Throughout this time, I have been overwhelmed by the generosity and dedication of our donors, whose commitment to our work has not just made our current success possible but has also ensured our future as a leader in veterinary medicine.

I have been tremendously fortunate to work with Trustees who not only care deeply about animals, but are committed to ensuring that Schwarzman AMC thrives so it will be available to serve future generations of pets and their families.

I have been inspired by my colleagues, whose dedication to excellence is visible every day. To our greeters at the front door, our assistants and LVT’s, to all the staff veterinarians, interns, residents, client services, and all the unsung, behind-thescenes support staff, my deepest admiration and gratitude for all you do.

My departure is bittersweet as I will miss so much about working here, especially my daily encounters with pets in the lobby and the countless people who have become my friends. I know how fortunate I am to have had 12 extraordinary years full of incredible memories. Thank you for entrusting me with the great responsibility to lead this beloved institution. I am enormously grateful and tremendously proud to have served in this role.

With sincere thanks,

Kate Coyne President and CEO 14

HISTORY WAS MADE ON MARCH 10, 2012.

That was the day Kathryn Coyne took the reins of the Animal Medical Center, in the same year of its 100th anniversary.

Since then, Kate hasn’t stopped working to make this venerable veterinary hospital better and better; in fact, Kate has made the best better.

Kate, we thank you for what you have done and how you have guided us over the years to this point in time. Your love, intelligence, compassion, dedication and vision have spurred everyone — veterinarians, staff, clients, donors — to do whatever possible to ensure Schwarzman Animal Medical Center’s health as it rides through its second hundred years.

From the McCarthy family members, here and beyond — Salem, Mabel, Dixie and Calvin, Diamonds, Court Jester, Joe, Henry and Tidal Wave — we appreciate how you have given so very much of yourself and of your life to make Schwarzman Animal Medical Center the best veterinary institution in the world.

Thank you, Kate. You have helped shape history and enhanced the lives of so many people and their pets.
