Handlers of retired law enforcement dogs would be able to receive grants to help with the animal’s medical expenses under a bill filed in the Texas House. House Bill 2823, sponsored by Rep. AJ Louderback, R-Victoria, would establish a grant program to cover medical expenses for retired K-9s, including severe injury, illness or disease threatening the life, mobility, or long-term health of the dog. Routine vet visits wouldn’t be covered.
