Home of Heroes: A Sanctuary for Retired Working Dogs
Home of Heroes is the world’s first sanctuary dedicated to providing retired working dogs, especially demining K9 veterans, with the dignity, care, and love they deserve after a life of courageous service.
Founded in 2017 by Yulia Khouri and inspired by the heroic journey of a demining dog named Muriel, Home of Heroes rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs who once served on the frontlines of landmine detection and unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance. These brave souls have saved countless human and animal lives, and now it’s our turn to serve them.

About Home Of Heroes
In 2017, founder Yulia Khouri received an urgent plea: a retired demining dog named Muriel, once a lifesaving force in Cambodia’s minefields, was about to be euthanized. She was 9 years old, had given her best years to service and was now considered too old to travel with her adopting family.
With no background in working dogs or military K9s, Yulia made a decision that would change everything: She adopted Muriel, gave her a home, and unknowingly sparked a movement.
