Support 'The Military Working Dog Retirement Act of 2015'

Created by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore in Jun 2015, The Military Working Dog Retirement Act of 2015 would require the Department of Defense to arrange and pay for transportation of trained military dogs to the United States when their service abroad has been deemed no longer necessary, including because of injury. Currently, military working dogs are often left for adoption in the country where their service ends. Handlers and veterans who wish to reunite with their dogs generally have to cover the costs of bringing them back to the United States.
“Military working dogs have put their lives on the line for our military and deserve to be transported back to the U.S. to be reunited with their handlers,” Michelle Nelson, founder of PAVE and a certified professional dog trainer, said. “It is high time to acknowledge and honor the work these dogs do for and with our military.”
