FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW WE SUPPORTED RETIRED POLICE DOG MAX
RPD Max worked as an explosive search and detection dog.
He served Sussex Police for seven years, spending his whole career based at Gatwick Airport. The 11-year-old retired in 2021.
He was adopted by Debbie King, who said: “He is the most affectionate dog and just loves attention and cuddles.”
The Foundation covered the £580 bill when Max needed to have a lump removed from his neck.


“The Thin Blue Paw covered the £580 bill for Max to have a lump removed from his neck and we’re so grateful.”
Debbie, Max’s owner
