Maharashtra lets retired police dogs stay with handlers at state cost
- Maharashtra will stop putting police dogs up for outside adoption after they retire following 10 years of active service.
- Retired dogs will instead stay with their long-time police handlers, preserving the bond built during years of duty.
- The Maharashtra Home Department will cover expenses for the dogs’ food, healthcare and other needs after retirement.
- The move follows concerns that separation from handlers caused some retired police dogs distress and even refusal to eat.
