The need is greater than many people realize. 🐾

Every year, thousands of military and law enforcement K9s transition from active service into retirement. While their careers may end, the physical and medical challenges that come with years of demanding work often continue long after their final shift.

Approximately 300 military working dogs and an estimated 10,000 law enforcement K9s retire each year. Behind every number is a loyal partner who spent years protecting communities, supporting service members, and standing beside their handlers when it mattered most.

Retirement can bring new challenges, including ongoing medical care, mobility issues, chronic conditions, and age-related health concerns. These heroes deserve the same dedication and support they gave throughout their careers.

That's why Paws of Honor exists. We help retired K9s across the country receive the veterinary care and assistance they need to enjoy a healthy, comfortable retirement.

Because when their service ends, our commitment to them continues. ❤️

This evening we honor the memory of K9 Ginna, EOW 1/31/2026.

Ginna's handler sent this in:
"We lost Ginna in January of this year. Ginna was able to enjoy two years of retirement before she passed and loved every minute of it! I am grateful for everything you all did for Ginna’s health care.

Canine Ginna was born October 27, 2015, in Croatia. She was procured by US Customs and Border Protection on January 2017, at the Field Operations Canine Center in Front Royal, Virginia. On September 12, 2017, Ginna graduated from the CBP Concealed Human Narcotics Detector Dog Course - with CEO Damina Notnagle. In October of 2017, Damina and her new canine partner Ginna began their journey of interdicting drugs from entering the United States at the Area Port of Washington Dulles.

Ginna’s seven (7) years (49 dog years) career with CBP was spent diligently searching for the seven major illegal narcotics that threaten the United States ports of entry: ma*****na, hashish, co***ne, ecstasy, methamphetamines, he**in, and fentanyl. During her admirable career, Ginna performed more than 1,700,000 searches, by sniffing passengers, bags, mail parcels, freight, vehicles, and aircraft. Her efforts yielded 236 finds totaling over 273 pounds of Ma*****na, 19.2 pounds of Hashish, 4.8 pounds of Ecstasy, 19 pounds of Co***ne, 8.2 pounds of Fentanyl, all with an estimated street value of over $2,700,000.00. Additionally, these seizures resulted in numerous arrests and $22,000.00 in fines."

Ginna, we thank you deeply for your dedication to your job and helping protect our country at the border. We were honored to be here for you and your family in retirement. Rest easy, Ginna, your job is done. 🐾💙

"Your place I'll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed. And as you journey to your final rest, take with you this... I loved you best."

This afternoon we pause to remember K9 Blaze, EOW 5/24/2026.

His handler sent this in alongside his favorite photos:
"My favorite memory of K9 Blaze was him retiring after 7.5 years of faithful service and I was able to retire soon after and spend time with my best friend! He was a once in a lifetime partner that I will forever remember our friendship and time together. The day I selected Blaze I knew he was a great animal. He loved being with his family and beach trips. He was so loved by his pack. I can’t thank Paws of honor for the service they provided Blaze in his retirement years it’s amazing what they have done for him by providing financial support for much needed meds, vet care. Thanks to all these great humans!"

Thank you Blaze for your service to our communities. Not just your standard job, but being known as an ambassador for law enforcement K9s because of your excellent balance of non-stop work ethic and approachable demeanor. Job well done, Blaze, now it's time to rest. 🐾🌈

"The hardest day together was our last; but it was worth it to have all the days before it."
