After working together 7 days a week for 8 yrs, it’s hard to separate a team. Almost all of retiring dogs are adopted by their handlers. If a handler can’t adopt, option is given to another CIA handler. As K9 officers love them so much, dogs hardly ever retires outside the unit.pic.twitter.com/L3mjEyKPTC
Gears, 8 ½ yr old black Lab, was in very 1st class that graduated from #CIAK9 Training Center. Before we had our own training program, we trained at @ATFHQ.
Gears spent over 750 days overseas during his career. He enjoys hanging out w his new protégé & housemate, #K9 Nicole.pic.twitter.com/gLR5RFrDRR
Lucy, 9 yr old black Lab, spent 3 years traveling around the US promoting @PBBassociation, before joining CIA. She’s worked in challenging locations overseas 6 times, protecting lives & property for us.
Lucy & her new pal K9 Indigo love to play & roughhouse together.pic.twitter.com/enMcHxTdFo
Osmond, 9 yr old golden Lab, was one of the last CIA dogs to graduate from @ATFHQ program. He's won numerous K9 Explosive Detection awards & has served overseas many times. He’s a silly, sweet, loyal dog who is excited to share his home w his newest buddy, K9 Freya.pic.twitter.com/Uoo2O0OL7i
During the graduation ceremony, the handlers & their retiring dogs were presented with a CIA plaque & shadowbox containing photos, their badge, & other mementos in honor of their service to this country.pic.twitter.com/7FglpmYai6
Retired dogs sat quietly, heads held high, a wise calm much different than boisterous puppy antics displayed by the younger, soon-to-be K9 graduates. The crowd, made up of family, friends, & colleagues cheered for the veteran dogs as they were honored for their service.pic.twitter.com/qaSCCp2cfA
As new graduates were ready to receive official graduation certificates, veteran dogs & handlers made their way to the back of the room, where handlers changed leashes from their old partners to their new: a passing of the torch to next generation of CIA explosive detection K9s.pic.twitter.com/P9cYLjMuEB

what do spys even need dogs for anyway surely having a dog makes you stand out more unless your in the veterinarians
in world war 3 they put bombs on dogs and told them to run to enemy lines and pretend to be german dogs start a family (dogs call them litters) and climb the political ladder before setting them when crowned king
Thank you for running an ethical companion retirement program!
I recently met a MTA bomb dog and he is retired. His Dad got to adopt him . You'll are great and I and my family thank you for making us feel safer.
Hermosos perros
As a Grateful American, Thanks Every Day of Your Service!
