This is awesome. Just found out about what happens to retired military dogs yesterday and was absolutely heartbroken. Most retired military dogs are abandoned in the country they served in or euthanized if they don't get adopted. The military does not pay for them to fly back, and do not pay for medical benefits whatsoever. A lot of dogs can have medical issues from being in combat just like humans, except they don't get any medical benefits. These dogs deserve support from everyone. Mission K9 Rescue is actually who I just started donating to as of last night, $10 a month, anything helps. They help bring dogs home to get adopted and help pay for medical treatment. Help our soldiers.

When I was a kid, living in Denver, our next door neighbors were two sisters whose nephew came to live with them after the end of WWII. He brought with him his K9 dog, Jacques. We loved that dog, and the dog not only loved me and my sister but he protected us from such nefarious people as the milkman, the mail carrier, and anyone else who walked into our yard. My mom never worried about us playing in the yard when Jacques was around. To this day, I love German shepherds. Best dogs!

[@ramonwilts]

From the Netherlands. How nice that you are reminded by that after all those years. And considering that dog, and the veterans he was with, did a lot for my country, I thank Jacques and have love and respect for him too :) In those days he probably spend weeks on a boat just to get here and back home. All the nights here with bombs and gunshots around him all the time. It must have been scary for a dog. It makes you apreciate them even more indeed. Glad he got to spend his retirement playing with you in a nice American yard. Take care! Love from the Netherlands

Hi, I don’t live in the US. But very far away in Singapore. However, for the last 10 years I have been adopting n promoting the adoption or retired K9 n MWDs. Including, ones that fall ill 1/2 through their work life, or didn’t make the cut. I don’t know where u originally got her dog whether inheriting from another handler or from LACKLAND Air Base where many military personnel pick up their dogs. They also have a program for Ex-handlers or interested members of public to adopt their retired MWDs. Another one is DOGS ON DEPLOYMENT. And the other is the War Dog Foundation set up by Mike Ritland who was an ex-navy seal. Even if, they might not be the right group to help you, perhaps they have more resources and link u up with other groups that reunites retired MWD with their handlers, or helps to find forever homes for them. U can also find some of these groups on Facebook simply typing in Military Working Dogs or Retired MWD, OR SIMILAR relevant words. Hope this helps. Good Luck to you and Taffy.
