Save a hero!

He’s sociable, obedient, loves to play with the ball, and doesn’t chase cats —that’s Fet when he’s not on a mission. The nine-and-a-half-year-old Golden Labrador was one of the rescue dogs of Gendarmerie Brasov, his specialty ”rescue/search in the wild.” This gendarme dog has epilepsy, so he’s being retired, a gentle term used instead of “removed from the force.” Now, AMP is collaborating with the Gendarmerie Brasov to find an adoptive family for this hero.

He saved three lives

Endowed by nature with a “supersensitive” nose, Fet was initially trained to detect drugs. Later this service was removed from the Gendarmerie’s portfolio, so Fet was reinstated in the “rescue/search in the wild” department, where he continued using his olfactory capacities. “He was specialized to act in case of avalanche, in a course organized together with the French Gendarmerie. His task was to search for missing people and persons who got lost in the wild or disoriented by snow,” says Fet’s partner, sergeant Dan Radu.
In nine years, Fet took part in 15 successful search and rescue missions. “In three cases he was the hero, finding the victims—tourists lost in Poiana Brasov or on other tourist paths,” says Radu. The sergeant’s living conditions prevent him from providing Fet with a quiet old age, so he has to part from him.
Anyone who would like to have a hero in the family should know that Fet is still a strong dog with a lot of energy and a strong desire to play. He likes to spend time in the yard and to be walked every day. At the age of three, Fet was diagnosed with epilepsy. His epileptic seizures occur twice a month on average and usually last between three to five minutes.
If you want to adopt Fet, send us an e-mail with pictures and information about the living conditions you can provide him. AMP reserves the right to contact only those who demonstrate that they can make Fet happy.
