You can make an American hero your pet.

The United States Marine Corps has about 400 IED (Improvised Explosive Device) sniffing dogs that are being decommissioned and need forever homes.

Most of the dogs are breeds such as: Labradors, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, German Shepherds & Rottweilers.

U.S. Rep. Allen West posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday that the dogs are all incredibly well-trained.

West said many of the dogs have served in war zones and are responsible for saving countless American, NATO and foreign lives.

The dogs are based in Washington, D.C., so adoptive families must be able to travel to D.C. to pick up the dogs or arrange transport at their own expense.

If you would like to adopt one of these dogs, contact:

At this time the USMC IDD program is not seeking homes to place dogs. If you are a Law Enforcement Agency, I do have dogs for transfer as working dogs.
