A retired police dog who was likely destined for euthanasia has been spared after animal lovers condemned the police department’s decision to send him to a municipal shelter.

The 9-year-old Belgian Malinois, Rex, had served with the Albuquerque Police Department since 2013, and spent several years in the military before that, the Albuquerque Journal reports. Rex was present during the shooting of homeless man James Boyd that led to criminal charges for two APD officers, and appears in video of the incident.

When Rex’s handler, Scott Weimersckirch, retired, the APD said Rex was too old and too bonded to Weimersckirch to be transferred to another handler. But the officer couldn't adopt Rex due to concerns that the dog would be a threat to his young child, APD spokeswoman Celina Espinoza told local news station KRQE.

A city shelter took Rex in, but the APD said Monday it was likely the dog would be euthanized, since his military and police background would make finding a suitable home difficult.

About Me

My photo
desertrose
I am a woman who has come back from the depths of the Abyss. Having to rediscover myself and who I truly am. My Journey has been a long and hard one. Who I thought I was has been stripped from me. Not by man, not by God but rather a fated day lost to the Abyss. The nothingness that returned me to this reality not knowing who I am. Not connected to that person I had sought so hard to become and stay faithful to.. I am having to learn to be human all over again. To establish a connection to the everyday that has been lost to me. So now my quest rather than enlightenment of a knowledge and existence I already possess is more the search for the connection to this life and existence in the here and now. My memories of myself, who I was, what I believed are now all "Echos From The Abyss" which has transformed me into whatever I am today and will grow to be tomorrow. A journey of self discovery and true self awareness.
