Here is the story:
Hunter is a 7 year old german shepherd. He has been a member of the Orange County Sheriff's Office K-9 since 2003. At the age of 5, Hunter was taken away from his first handler and given to his second handler. During the transition, Hunter experienced emotional trauma and was taken to his vetinarian who recommended nuetering and a canine behavioralist/psychologist. Now Hunter has developed a bond with his new handler and has found happiness in his new home.
In April of 2009, Hunter was diagnosed with progressive heart disease. He has served his department for 6 years. His K-9 handler is moving on to another police department and requested Hunter be retired to live as a pet for the remainder of his life.
After being refused, the handler offered to pay for a new police dog at FULL COST. The Office still plans on taking Hunter away from his current handler and placing through the police academy for the THIRD TIME. It is unfortunate that Hunter is being used as a pawn as a way for the Office to make and example and get thier retribution toward the handler.
Hunter is going to be forced out of a loving home in order to be worked to death by the Orange County Sherifs office.
