Help K-9 Deuce…
Imagine a world where a certified narcotics K9 loses their handler… and ends up behind the bars of a shelter kennel.
Sadly, Deuce doesn’t have to imagine that—because that is his life now.
There is something particularly heartbreaking about knowing Deuce—a dog so brilliant, so kind, so highly trained, so magnificent—and realizing he is homeless. That a dog who gave his life to serve, who worked side by side with his handler in a prison K9 program, is now spinning in a kennel, unsure of what comes next.
Deuce is only three years old and was last certified in narcotics detection in October 2024. He’s a 65-pound German Shepherd who walks calmly on leash, focuses with intent, and still carries the discipline and grace of the partner he once was.
He deserves more than shelter walls. He deserves a purpose, a home, and someone who sees the greatness in him.
His ma*****na certification has made placement more difficult, but Deuce is ready to work again—or simply be understood and loved by someone who knows and is experienced with what a working dog needs.
We are searching for law enforcement agencies or certified handlers who can give Deuce the next chapter he’s earned. We’re also open to adopt to an home experienced with Malinois and working dogs.
His adoption fee is waived for government agencies.
Please—help us find the future this incredible dog deserves.
