Once adding 'bite' to force, CRPF launches adoption of retired sniffer, assault dogs

In a first, more than 30 canines from four breeds are available for adoption
OUR CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI: The CRPF has launched a first-ever online service that allows common people to adopt retired sniffer and assault dogs from the country's largest paramilitary force to give these four-legged soldiers a comfortable second life.

This is probably the first time that any security force has decided to offer their trained dogs for public adoption, as this move was always fraught with the dangers of misuse of these highly-skilled and motivated dogs by anti-national elements.

Till now, the central forces and state police were handing over their retired dogs to registered NGOs or reputed organisations for their care.
