We invite you to SCROLL DOWN to see what MWDs or CWDs might be looking for a Forever Home with YOU!

MWDs are Military Working Dogs who have been attached to one of the military services:USA,USAF, USN, or USMC. To apply to adopt a MWD you MUST use the MWD ADOPTION APPLICATION.

CWDs are Contract Working Dogs. The demand for detection dogs is so great that the DoD hires civilian K9 contractors to provide extra detection capabilities needed to protect our facilities and our troops. These CWDs work side by side with MWDs doing all the same jobs needed to save lives and property. To apply to adopt a CWD on THIS PAGE you MUST use the CWD ADOPTION APPLICATION.

Whenever we are asked, we will post any working dog or Police K9 needing a Forever Retirement Home.
SCROLL DOWN to see which K9 Hero needs a home at YOUR HOUSE!

Proposed Amendment to the MWD Adoption Bill HR5314

We are asking the Congress to pass the following amendment to HR 5314:


MWD Transport, Reclassification and Recognition Amendment to HR 5314

                                              RETIRING MWD TRANSPORT

1.  Provide for authorized DoD Transport of retiring MWDs stationed at permanent OCONUS (overseas) bases who are ADOPTION SUITABLE or ALREADY ADOPTED back to CONUS (continental United States) via military transport.

     A. If the MWD is ALREADY adopted, the dog will be transported to whatever CONUS base the Mil Air plane lands, whereupon the adopter is responsible for paying the MWD's domestic transport to a Forever Home. Support may be required from that base's MWD Facility to place the dog (still a military asset because he has not been relinquished to his adopter) on a commercial flight to the dog's end destination. An overnight stay at the MWD Facility should be an option.

    B. If the MWD is ADOPTION SUITABLE but is NOT adopted, the dog should be integrated into the already existing MWD Adoption Program at the 341st MWD Training Squadron. The chance of finding a suitable adoption situation will be increased by having the MWD transported Stateside. The MWD's Owning OCONUS Unit SHOULD NOT be required to pay for Lackland transport of any as yet unadopted  ADOPTION SUITABLE MWD.*

(*Current standard is that if a unit wishes to get a retiring MWD to Lackland AFB, the UNIT MUST PAY FOR THE TRANSPORT. This should not be the case with our RETIRING adoption-suitable MWDs returned to the 341st Training Squadron MWD Adoption Program.)

ACTIVE DUTY/RETIRING MWD RECLASSIFICATION 

2. Grant an OFFICIAL reclassification of current active duty MWD from "Equipment" to "MWD Troop/Soldier". This change is necessary in order to undergird the reclassification of a RETIRING MWD from the current "Excess Equipment" to "MWD Veteran" or "Military K9 Veteran".   

ACTIVE DUTY MWD RECOGNITION

3. Mandate the creation and establishment of a DoD recognized Commendation and Medal for Meritorious MWD Service for Active Duty MWDs.*

(* For the last five years, the efforts and all official requests of the US War Dog Association have been rebuffed by the Department of Defense with absolute refusal to even consider the creation of any DoD recognized commendation for MWDs. Experts estimate that the average MWD saves 150 soldier lives during his tenure of service. This is a LAUDABLE FEAT which should be recognized in an OFFICIAL CAPACITY.)

CWD Remmy:
                              
                                    Remmy is pictured below on his Afghanistan deployments.
He is a Dual Purpose Dog in Explosive detection/Patrol (PEDD). Remmy has been in
an IED Explosion some years ago but has suffered no ill effects from his experience. He is a happy 8 year old Dutch Shepherd who has no health issues. He is ready to be an active member of a loving family....maybe yours?
                              
                                    Nitro (below) spent a year and a half on his Afghanistan deployments. He is a Dual Purpose Dog in Explosive detection/Patrol(PEDD). He is
an active 9 year old Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois cross and is a healthy, happy fellow. Looking at his photos...it is EASY to see how he got his name!
NITRO is DY-N-O-M-I-T-E !!!!
CWD NITRO
CWD DUNNY
                                    Dunny (below) spent a year and a half sniffing out  explosives in Afghanistan. He is a Explosive detection dog and an energetic
9 year old Weimaraner. A healthy, happy explosives "hunting dog", Dunny gets along well with other dogs and loves to chase his ball! He needs someone to exercise with him. Are you ready for a game of "Fetch" with this high energy fellow?
CWD ADOPTION FORM...                             THEN EMAIL/SCAN
Please check back often...we will be posting more CWDs available for adoption when contractors submit them to MWD Adoptions for retirement.
Thank you for your INTEREST !!!
CWD MADDY
                               Maddy (below) is 9 years also and an intact male.  He's a Malinois/Shepherd mix.  Maddy really likes to be petted and the Contractor never had any problems with him. Maddy doesn't like to get shots from the vet. He has snapped at them in the past, but seems to be OK now.  He's good with other dogs but will fight if provoked by an Alpha dog.  He's fairly high energy but can be quite laid back with just a little exercise.He was in Afghanistan for a year and a half, and last year worked for the IRS for a few months . 

                                (below) is 9 and an intact Belgian Malinois He's a real Alpha dog and needs to go to someone having experience with dominant dogs. He would do best as an only dog.  Barry will get along with other dogs as long as they don't challenge him.  If they don't walk away, it's ON!  He's a great one person dog. He's beyond loyal to his handler and will protect them to the end. Barry was a dual purpose dog (PEDD) in Kandahar and is pictured on deployment in the snowy mountains of Afghanistan.
