Forest Park GA -USA Police Dept to RETIRE aged service dog K9 #Yoeri
The Issue
Retired K9 Yoeri (City of Forest Park, Georgia - USA)
The vet recommended that K9 Yoeri be medically retired due to arthritis (which requires daily medication) and a hernia (which requires a special diet) and returned to his handler, Nathan, with whom he’s lived and served for the last six years.
Yoerie now been taken from his handler and stuck in a pen for the last three weeks. The Chief of Police, Nathaniel Clark (404.366.4141) and the City Manager, Marc Cooper (404.366.1555) (Forest Park, GA) are flatly refusing to return him to the handler despite the veterinarian’s recommendation. Allegedly, they want another opinion. We don’t even know if he’s receiving the meds he needs to live without pain. Please call them and voice your concerns. This is despicable and cruel to the dog.
Yoerie deserves better than to go without the medication and diet he needs, languishing in a pen with virtually no human contact, and waiting for another vet to give a potentially different recommendation. Does the City of Forest Park, GA care so little about their K9 officers and the morale of the officers in their employ to basically commit this poor dog to a life of confinement after he’s served his community well? Who knows better how to manage this dog for the rest of his life than the handler who’s taken care of his every need for the last six years? Do they want to adopt him out (auction him off) to the highest bidder?
This dog needs to be out of solitary confinement and back in the care of his handler. #release K9 #Yoeri to Nathan his most recent handler, Officer Nathan Gray.
