Seven rescue dogs who have reached retirement age and unable to continue their duties can now be adopted, according to a notice by the Shanghai Fire and Rescue on Wednesday.

The department encourages the public and fire-fighters to give a new home to the dogs, which range in age from five to 12. The breeds include Springer Spaniels, Malinois and Labradors.

The dogs are being retired mainly due to their age, long service, declining physical fitness, or mobility issues.
