The four legged hero's have spent the past few years serving their country and keeping our troops safe. Now, the heroic pups are getting ready for a life of rest and relaxation.
"They've really been dedicated to service for us. so to really bring them back and let them retire in a home with a loving family is really an incredible feeling," Susanne Kought with the Petco Foundation said.
From here, Mission K-9 will work to rehabilitate and reintegrate the dogs into society. Â
They hope to have them in new homes in time for the Christmas holiday.
