Four military dogs died due to poor kennel conditions; the Air Force will improve staffing and facilities.
A Defense Department inspector general report released February 17, 2026, found that four military working dogs died between fiscal years 2021 and 2023 due to poor conditions in aging kennels, including extreme weather exposure, mold, and insufficient care.
The 341st Training Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio was cited for failing to provide required daily enrichment, with dogs receiving only about 10 minutes of walking four times a week instead of the mandated five hours.
Stress behaviors and heat-related signs were observed.
While the Air Force attributed deaths to illnesses like pneumonia, it agreed to hire more caretakers, upgrade facilities, and reduce non-training dog numbers until staffing improves.
The Pentagon oversees over 2,200 military dog teams globally.
