I was stunned to read this, no loving retirement for the K9 who served, but 
how did the police department avoid the liability of placing a trained 
police K9 in a public environment like this shelter?
I know around here the policy is basically the dog retires with his handler 
or another handler, there is no shortage of  people who would be willing to 
adopt the dogs after their service, but the liability factor is huge, so 
it's not done (as far as my experience).
