At the Central Police Office (CPO) in Lahore, a ceremony was held for the first time to recognize police dogs who had retired from duty.
As a token of appreciation for the valiant efforts they had made to ensure the safety of Pakistan’s citizens, the retired police dogs were given service badges. After being adopted by families, they moved into their new residences.
JFK Animal Rescue And Shelter, an organization dedicated to animal welfare, posted some videos from the occasion on their Instagram account and hailed it as a crucial day for animal rights.
In the post, they stated that traditionally, when Pakistani police canines left the force, they were put down after reaching 8 years old. The statement explained, “Despite their great intellect and hard labor, this is a very ancient practice that prevails throughout Pakistan because they are considered useless after retirement.”
In order to stop the practice of euthanizing sniffer dogs, JFK was extremely proud to announce that a historic MOU had been signed with the Punjab Police.
Under this agreement, the dogs will no longer be put to sleep but will instead be placed up for adoption three months before their retirement date, and the adoptions will take place with JFK’s assistance.
They also expressed their gratitude to the IG Punjab and the Punjab Police for taking such a great initiative and caring so much about animals.
