PEARL Act

This bill mandates the establishment of a pilot program within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to adopt dogs from local animal shelters. The program's primary goal is to train these adopted dogs to serve as support dogs for CBP's existing Support Canine Program. The Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the CBP Commissioner, is directed to establish this initiative within 60 days of the bill's enactment. This pilot program is designed to operate for a duration of three years from its establishment date, after which it will terminate.
