When service dogs retire, they’re put up for adoption and have to lie and wait to find their forever loving homes. Meanwhile, though, there is one person for every retired pup who wants nothing more than to adopt them and give them the love and care they deserve – but they’re not able to do it.
But most dogs aren’t able to be adopted by their handlers because service members have difficulty adopting pets. But Molli Oliver is working hard to change that. She’s managed to reunite four pups with their former handlers so far.
One of those four pups is Taylor, a service dog who did her job so well that the Taliban had a bounty on her head. She’d been a constant companion to Sergeant Tom Hansen, had served overseas with him, and had even saved his life. And today, Taylor gets to go home with Hansen. She boards a plane with Oliver and arrives at the airport, where she runs straight into Hansen’s arms.
Take a look at this video!
It’s a happy reunion for the two best friends, who now get to live their lives together. Oliver’s hard work is allowing service dogs to retire into the homes of those who love them best, and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. Do give this story and like and share it around if you were touched by the results of Oliver’s efforts!
