Honoring our K9 Heroes Act

This bill would set up a grant program to help pay for medical care for retired federal working dogs. The goal is to make it easier for these dogs to get vet visits, treatment, and other needed care after they leave service, reducing the cost burden on the people and groups that care for them.

Key points

• Who is affected: Retired federal working dogs and the people or organizations caring for them.
• What changes: A new grant program under the Homeland Security Act would support access to veterinary care for these retired dogs.
• Why it matters: It helps ensure the dogs who served the country can get the medical care they need in retirement.
