Eldridge, IA – The Scott County Sheriff’s Office will hold a memorial service Monday, November 3, 2025, for Police Service Dog (PSD) Denali, who recently passed away following a battle with cancer.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the service will take place at Cornerstone Church in Eldridge and will be limited to public safety personnel and Denali’s immediate family due to space restrictions.
A funeral motorcade will travel from Creekside Veterinary Hospital to the church beginning around 9 a.m. Monday. Traffic will be temporarily stopped along E 53rd Street from E 52nd Street to Brady Street, continuing north to Eldridge. Additional slowdowns are expected near the northbound Highway 61 off-ramp at LeClaire Road, as well as at 9th Avenue and E LeClaire Road. Officials say delays will be brief and will clear once the procession passes.
Residents who wish to pay their respects may line the route where safe to do so. The Sheriff’s Office expressed gratitude for the community’s support as staff mourn the loss of Denali, a faithful service dog who served Scott County with dedication.
