Fido was born on January 11, 2016 and graduated from the National Explosives Detection Canine Academy in September of 2018. He was assigned to work at JFK International Airport and spent his days searching passengers, cargo, vehicles and airplanes. Fido also loved to spend his days off chasing squirrels and napping in the garden next to a tree. Throughout his career, Fido has traveled all over the country and participated in various scenario based trainings and details. Fido's most recent travels brought him to the west coast in 2022 for Superbowl LVI in Los Angeles, CA and Thanksgiving week at San Diego International Airport. Fido was medically retired on September 14, 2023 and now spends his days relaxing at home with his favorite stuffed turtle while he recovers from surgery.
Working K9s perform a variety of occupations alongside their Handlers ensuring our public is safe from threats or danger, along with protecting our country domestically and abroad. They are typically classified as equipment with their medical needs NO longer funded once their service is completed. Often times they have accelerated health issues like hip dysplasia or PTSD as a result of their years in the field.
Paws of Honor is a nonprofit providing continued quality routine and specialized veterinary care to ALL retired Military and Law Enforcement K9s no matter the department, agency, or branch of service at no cost to the Handler who becomes financially responsible for them upon retirement. Through Paws of Honor’s Veterinary Affiliates continued medical care is provided to each retired K9 enrolled in our Veterinary Care Program.
