What Happens When A Law Enforcement Dog Retires
Law enforcement dogs spend a lot of time training and working with their handlers. They protect and serve our local communities for several years before retiring. These dogs are highly trained to assist in detecting illegal drugs or weapons, apprehending suspects, or completing search and rescue missions.
Every year, thousands of police K9s retire. Most agencies do not have the resources or money to aid in the dog’s care after retirement. Typically, the dog’s handler adopts the dog into their family. However, these families often need help with veterinary care. They are often given high medical bills due to the stress and injuries a retired police dog endures. Unfortunately, many retired police dogs are not found a forever home.
