Learn About Military Dog Adoption

By Daphne Bowen


Many people rarely know what is going on within the military. Most of the common folk only know of the protocol within the forces. They know that orders are sent from above and someone will implement them as that is their task. But again very few of people even understand the logic of having a dog in military ranks in the first place. This military dog adoption has various functions among the many ranks and serve different purposes from ferrying machines to pulling cargo using carts and even as spies.

As initially mentioned the military that we know is some protocol and order and in this case once the dogs are done with their service, there is some protocol to be followed in the case of adoption of these dogs. They are put up for these programs within the force and if none is interested in these dogs then they usually are put up for these services to other government institutes and if by any chance there are still some dogs left then they are set up for adoption to the ex-service men as they have the skill of handling them and finally the general public may take up the last dogs.

A number of factors are put into consideration when a military dog is to be adopted like how aggressive they can be. The level of aggression determines how they will deal with the people around it. Highly aggressive dogs are not considered viable for these services since they will be easily agitated with the other dogs and people around it thus may cause more harm than good.

The level of dependency also determines the release of a dog for adoption. The highly dependent dogs are more likely to be killed or remain in service as they may be trouble for the handlers. The very skilled dogs are also highly dependent as they need constant commands from the owners and the other injured dogs also need constant supervision.

Some breeds of dogs are known to outlive some other breeds. Some breeds are also stronger than others while some are known to be faster than others. Thus their stay will be solely dependent on the breed as some of these traits are all known to be an advantage or disadvantage on various levels. The consideration made in placing these dogs for services will depend on these traits.

Some dogs are placed under these programs early in their life. This is not for being useless as they have been observed to be very intelligent thus to protect this genetic line they are placed for adoption on the condition that the particular dog will be sustained for breeding purposes as that particular trait has to be sustained.

If the dogs were to be retained within the military confines most of them would not survive as there would be extreme competition for everything. The adoption gives them a new privilege to life as they may all live in peace.

Adoption is an option that almost all dogs in the forces should be given since they all get that new start away from their norms of life. As a result they also help in saving the lives of many.
