I am a complete novice to posting a vanity so please forgive me for any and all mistakes. Veteran IDDs (Improvised Explosive Device Dogs) have served our Country and Marine Corps honorably. Due to the reduction in forces in Afghanistan, many of these wonderful dogs are eligible for retirement and adoption. The majority of the dogs are 3-7 year old pure breed Labrador Retrievers that are black, yellow, or chocolate. Spaying and neutering has already been done. They are highly trained, healthy, happy, and will make terrific pets or hunting buddies. The adoption process is not quick but the dog's health and temperament are checked by an DoD veterinarian and trainer. The dogs must be picked up in North Carolina. If you would like more information, please contact Robert.W.Little1@USMC.mil. His office number is 703-432-9841. The website is ak9i.com/adoption.php
What a great idea for a bumpersticker! (with a K9 image on it) Either for a military retiree or a Greyhound.
ps May I crosspost to 2Cool Fishing? LOTS of Lab Lovers there.
There are a lot of dog lovers on the NC board, and this might be just the thing for someone who is between dogs, as it were.
If you know how to place articles in the sidebar, or if someone like a moderator could explain it, there’s also a North Carolina sidebar listing that would catch residents who don’t frequent the state board ... although I don’t know why they wouldn’t because the regulars are so much fun ;-).
Thank you,KGeorge! Yes... please let anyone know that you think just may be interested. Labs are wonderful dogs!! Marine Veteran Labs...even better. LOL!
Done! Yes, they are. If I can manage it, I’ll get it onto FB, too. I have a school mate near San Diego whose 3 Marine daughters who just got home & might be interested.
Bump
I thank ya! (& I’m sure momtothree appreciates it, too) Adding my bump!
From where in North Carolina?
On the application, it states, “IDD’s must be picked up at K2 Solutions K9 training Center (369 Currie Road, Ellerbe, NC 28338) during normal business hours Monday through Friday. Arrangements can be made to transport an adopted IDD via air or ground at the adopter’s expense. “
The last line leads me to believe that the dog can be transported to another location than Ellerbe, NC. I did have one freeper who offered to assist in driving the dog (possibly a half way point) to meet up with any freeper who would like to do this.
