The RCMP's 2025 #NameThePuppy Contest is officially underway.
Canadians between the ages of 4 and 14 are invited to send in their suggestions for names of future RCMP Service Dogs.
This year, all names must start with the letter "A", be one or two syllables long, and be no more than nine letters long.
Submissions can be made online at www.rcmp.ca/puppy
One entry per person.
The contest closes March 19, 2025.
Every year the RCMP Police Dog Service Training Centre (PDSTC) in Innisfail holds a contest to help find names for future police dogs. The 13 winners come from every province and territory.
The winners will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the puppy they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP water bottle.
Winners will be announced on April 17, 2025, on the RCMP website and social media.
