What an amazing program to help those that protect us!

Meet Pearl, the support dog who inspired the PEARL Act.

Looking forward to seeing more shelter dogs turned into CBP support canines like Pearl with the help of my PEARL Act—which passed in the House last week. 🐾

@USBPChiefDRT Thank you for your service! Hope you each get lots of treats and get to play, play, play in your retirement!

[Rep. Tony Gonzales @RepTonyGonzales]

🇺🇸NEW: My bill, the PEARL Act, just PASSED in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The PEARL Act trains up local shelter dogs as support canines to expand mental health resources for CBP personnel. ⬇️
