Would adopt

sounds like a good idea. They are trained as detection dogs, not attack dogs, so they wouldnt be as aggressive as a retired police dog, right?

im happy with my 12 year old lab

I can't imagine how stupid a dog would have to be to not pass a TSA test.

Not all dogs have the temperament to be explosive and drug detection dogs.

Doesn't mean they're stupid.

But it does mean that they are failures and as such they are undeserving of love. Dogs are just like children.

My bet is they're still light years ahead of any potential owners they may get.

Not all of the dogs flunked training, some are now retired.


I think most of them are labs. Sounds like a great way to get an awesome dog for free imo.

I've seen the humans they accept. I don't want a dog that can't live up to those lofty standards.

People interested in adoption must submit an application. Applicants must meet the requirements and then photos and information on the dogs will be provided via email. The Adoption Coordinator will assist in identifying a dog that best suits each home and family. Applicants will need to provide a signed and notarized indemnity letter, travel to San Antonio to meet the canine and travel home with the dog at the owner’s expense.


So much for "free of charge."

Man how dumb does a dog have to be not to pass TSA training.

Oh never mind. That job is harder than screening passengers.

What? You don't feel safe and well protected by the high quality individuals that TSA employs? Hogwash.

My GSD has a damn terrible nose compared to most others of the same breed, but he makes up for it in many other ways.

I'm the opposite.

Would be awesome if I forget where I put it one night and Fido can just sniff it out for me.

This could be one of those sting operations where they arrest everyone who shows up to get a drug dog.

I wouldn't adopt one of these dogs, not when there are so many homeless pits that people just throw away like trash. Go to your local shelter and adopt a pit! The ones who have been used for fighting are often the sweetest.
