Last month PDs Hunter and Marley attended the Christchurch DorsetPoliceCadets meeting with their crew mate TPD Pablo.

The cadets met their handler whilst the dogs showed off some of their skills 🐾

Our absolute favourite thing in the world is to support our wonderful retired service animals.

RPD Orla is a beautiful springer spaniel from Dorset Police Dogs and she served with Dorset Police before retiring.

Orla, now aged 12, had a lump on her paw, and due to cancerous…

We have some sad news to share.

RPD Zico was bred by Met Police Taskforce and went to his new handler aged 9 months, having joined Dorset Police Dogs at 8 weeks.

TPD Obi vs Wheelbarrow: a NEW and unfamiliar object in a familiar environment. He is uncertain at first, but on his own (with a little help from Goose who is still on lead walks recovering), he deals confidently with the challenge and takes on the wheelbarrow, literally! 😂

This week some of our handlers were on a refresher course for Sedation and K9 first aid; this meant a very large play date for the specialist dogs.

As you can, extremely difficult to get them all to play ball at the same time for the photos 🤦‍♀️🐾

This week TPD Oakley became PD Oakley after completing his 10 weeks specialist course down in Devon & Cornwall Police, congratulations to both him and his handler.

Oakley’s previous owner recognised that he needed more than the family home and reached out to us to see if we could assist 🐾

Our dog of the day is RPD Rodney.

It’s with a heavy heart that we share with you that Rodney has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge🌈. Our thoughts are with his family 😢

Thank you for your service🐾💙🐾
