I’ll write to my Congress critters here in San Diego...today.
I think all these military dogs deserve to be placed in adoptive homes when they are completed their services. There are plenty of people who will care for them in their old age.
I’m surprised that there isn’t an organization that takes military dogs out of the pipeline and readies them for adoption by former handlers or other civilians. A couple years ago, a wounded dog was scheduled for retirement without repatriation to the US and people made a stink about it. The dog was brought back at a cost of about $20,000 or so to taxpayers. So it seems that it’s very expensive to get a dog out of the war zone and back to the states.
Absolutely!
Absolutely!
