Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) “Amie” was very recently welcomed into the project K-9 Hero Pack. Amie was retired from service just last week due to her diagnosis of Breast Cancer, which has now spread to her lungs.
Amie, a seven year old Belgian Malinois, spent six years in the Naval Special Warfare MPC Program. She was the first female SEAL MPC on the west coast teams. During her time as a SEAL MPC, she completed multiple rigorous workups, followed with three deployments. Amie has honorably and faithfully served on 3 SEAL Teams and she specializes in explosive odor detection, non-lethal apprehension, and various maritime, air, & land based techniques.
Some of Amie's favorite things to do are play ball at the beach, steal people food, and take over the bed. MPC Amie's selflessness, dedication, and loyalty to her team has earned her a spot in modern Naval Special Warfare history.
Due to her medical retirement this past week, Amie’s medical bills, cancer treatments, surgeries, and prescriptions fall soley on that of her still actively serving Handler. Project K-9 Hero will be covering these expenses as of today at 100% for the rest of her life.
The mission of Project K9 Hero is to ensure the best quality of life for our nation’s retired Police K9 and Military Working Dog Heroes in recognition of their selfless contributions. Due to the emergent condition of her diagnoses, Amie begins treatment as early as tomorrow to help her battle this disease.
Good Girl Amie! Thank you for all you have done to protect our nation - we're all behind you as you begin this next mission, and sending our very best wishes for a long and happy much deserved retirement!
(Today is National K9 Veterans Day. We celebrate and acknowledge the the life saving skills, dedication and loyalty of our 4 (and sometimes 3) legged Heroes. Everyday, thousands of dogs are deployed to keep us safe. Today we take a moment to appreciate their dedication to protecting our freedom, and the courage they show each day in doing so. Their service should never be forgotten.)
