I withdrew Ella from the Devon County show on day 1. She had just successfully searched & located a hidden 1 pence piece in an area heavily contaminated by horses & sheep. But when recalling she had yelped. She was fine but at 9 her welfare comes first.

[Essex Retired Police Dogs Fund @ERPDF]

We know how much our supporters
& those wanting to find out about our
work love to see RPDs at fundraisers.
But sometimes, on welfare issues,
we do not have any RPDs with us.
When the weather is HOT it is a risk
to have RPDs at events...
Safety first every time 🐾💙🐾

@999WAGS Loyal & Faithful to the very end.
Police Dog Marshy 💔💙🐾
Our thoughts are with Shane & family.

💙🐾 In Loving Memory of RPD Marshy 🐾💙

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of RPD Marshy.

Born in January 2016, Marshy joined Avon & Somerset Police as a puppy and successfully completed his basic course in September 2017 with his handler, Shane.

Marshy had a fantastic career as a police dog before retiring in 2024, where he remained with Shane and his family, enjoying his retirement to the fullest.

Run free, Marshy. Thank you for your service, loyalty, and the lives you helped protect. You will never be forgotten. 🐾💙

Beautiful, just beautiful. What a fitting tribute to our amazing service animals who are looked after in retirement by our friends @The_NFRSA and all our local charities @AssociationRPDs. Please support them so they can continue to do this. All open, honest and kind.
