Adopt a police dog

THE National Police are appealing for homes for some of their retired police dogs. The dogs at Adopta K9 are retired canine officers who, during their years of service, have worked hard for the National Police. Police dogs help with rescue tasks, searches for people, detection of drugs, explosives and fake money.

It is hard and risky work, and once the dogs are retired, some are searching for a cosy bed and relaxation.

Their latest appeal is to find a home for Jota, who is aged 11 and retired after his birthday. He is a black labrador and good with people and other dogs. As with all police dogs, he only understands Spanish. You can find more about Jota on the police dog retirement site, adoptak9.es
