Getting a police dog from overseas can be expensive, but the Fort Worth Police Department saved a lot of taxpayer money and saved a life by rescuing from the city's shelter.

    My partner K-9 Ernie came from a shelter. Best K-9 partner I ever had. We retired together and I was able to adopt him at retirement so we're together for life.

    A great triple win: 1) The animal shelter gets the dogs rescued with new owners. 2) The police department gets the right dogs more or less for free. 3) The dogs get a new lease on life. Everyone benefits!

    Thank you for promoting shelters & to rescue dogs!!! They are hidden gems!!! I know I have 2 treasures I would die without ❤
  • What a gorgeous dog! I’m sorry he was abandoned by previous owners, but now he is living a fabulous life full of love, appreciation and purpose.

    I don't think Rock is an anomaly, I'll bet countrywide there are thousands of dogs who have the right stuff. When will people stop buying dogs? Every breed is available for adoption, let's stop the killing of wonderful dogs. Way to go Rock!❤

    That is so awesome! Not only do these dogs get rescued but they get a new lease on life with a loving family and they get to be with their handlers throughout the day.

    Congrats Rock. I know you will be an amazing K-9 officer for the Fort Worth Police Department. Thanks for saving a shelter dogs life. I am truly grateful.
  • Hats off to your department for saving wonderful dogs, and saving taxpayer money in the process! We have a shelter rescue ourselves, and she is a treasure! Rock is beautiful, so smart, and an obvious valuable player in your department.
