‘Mid-South Hero’ Works With Dog in Local Search and Rescue Missions

Rhodes College administrative assistant Angela Fletcher was recently profiled as a “Mid-South Hero” on WMC 5. When she’s not working, Angela volunteers with her dog, Maddy, as a search and rescue team for multiple counties across the Mid-South.

Angela rescued Maddy as a puppy. She was in poor condition and had a bullet in her leg that remains. When she learned Maddy was also starved as a puppy, Fletcher had an idea.

“That drive and motivation for food is what maintained her drive in locating lost and missing people,” she said.

Now, rescues are second nature to Maddy.
