H.R. 9327: Providing Emotional Assistance with Relief and Love Act

This bill would direct the Department of Homeland Security, through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to create a three-year pilot program within 60 days after the bill becomes law.

What the program would do

• CBP would adopt dogs from local animal shelters.
• Those dogs would then be trained as support dogs for CBP’s Support Canine Program.
• The program would be set up as a pilot, meaning it is intended as a temporary test rather than a permanent change.

How long it would last

• The pilot program would end three years after it is established.

What the bill does not do

• It does not set detailed rules for how the dogs must be selected, trained, or used.
• It does not specify funding amounts or create a long-term program automatically.
• It does not change other CBP duties or immigration enforcement rules.
