Many people rarely know what is going on within the military. Most of the common folk only know of the protocol within the forces. They know that orders are sent from above and someone will implement them as that is their task. But again very few of people even understand the logic of having a dog in military ranks in the first place. This military dog adoption has various functions among the many ranks and serve different purposes from ferrying machines to pulling cargo using carts and even as spies.
As initially mentioned the military that we know is some protocol and order and in this case once the dogs are done with their service, there is some protocol to be followed in the case of adoption of these dogs. They are put up for these programs within the force and if none is interested in these dogs then they usually are put up for these services to other government institutes and if by any chance there are still some dogs left then they are set up for adoption to the ex-service men as they have the skill of handling them and finally the general public may take up the last dogs.
Once all the set protocols are met just before release to the public there are various considerations put in place, these dogs level of aggressiveness is also considered because if a dog is highly aggressive then the dog is not deemed fit for the public. Its aggressive nature will make them more of a nuisance to the public since it will do more harm than good. In many cases the highly aggressive dogs are not released to the public.
The level of dependency also determines if a military dog will be put up for adoption. In an instance whereby the animal is injured or due to its high level of training the dog needs a constant companion then the dog will rarely be placed under these programs as it will be more harm than good to the handler unless he or she will be willing to put up with the high level of need that the dog has. In case they are injured then the handler needs to be very patient by nature.
The breed of the dog also highly determines at what age and level they will be put up for adoption, in some cases some dogs are put up for earlier in this program than others due to their expected lifespan. The breed and species dictates how the dog fairs on with life as after a certain period of living it becomes more of a burden than an advantage.
In most cases some dog breeds are put up for adoption earlier than others, not because they are old or out of shape but because they have an exemplary gene pool. Thus they are put up for adoption early so as to save their genes for the future generations.
If the dogs were to be retained within the military confines most of them would not survive as there would be extreme competition for everything. The adoption gives them a new privilege to life as they may all live in peace.
Adoption is an option that almost all dogs in the forces should be given since they all get that new start away from their norms of life. As a result they also help in saving the lives of many.
