A career shift, but still one with great purpose ♥⁣
⁣
Last week, members from Dog Squad gathered to farewell Police Dog (PD) Trainee, Nala, who has started a new career as a Police Assistance Dog (PAD).⁣
⁣
Nala was born in September 2023 and at just 8 weeks of age, commenced her intensive PD training regime. Due to a minor medical condition, Nala was unable to graduate.⁣
⁣
Though given her loving temperament and social nature, it only made sense to donate Nala to blue_ribbon_foundation ’s Assistance Dog Program - a program which connects highly trained assistance dogs with emergency responders that require emotional support for a range of conditions, particularly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.⁣
⁣
It was through this program that Nala found her forever family in retired Detective Sergeant Peter Bellion.⁣
⁣
It’s said it was love at first sight.⁣
⁣
We want to wish all the best to Peter and his family, and of course, to Nala as she supports Peter during retirement.⁣
⁣
