\n They\u2019re doggone tired.<\/p>\n

After years of public service, New York City\u2019s bedbug-sniffing miniature beagles are preparing for retirement, and the city is already searching for their replacements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vet estimates that Mickey and Nemo have one to two working years left,\u201d HPD spokesperson Matthew Creegan told The City of Nemo, 10, and Mickey, 11. \u201cAs of now, HPD plans to retain ownership of both dogs, past their working years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pooch pair have been working for the code enforcement team at the city Department of Housing Preservation and Development since 2011, when they were puppies. The fluffy government employees have made about 3,500 inspections annually in their years of civil service helping rid NYC apartments of traumatizing vermin. In 2017, they were awarded custom sweaters and \u201csizable\u201d bones for hitting the 25,000-inspection milestone, AMNY reported at the time.<\/p>\n

Mickey and Nemo have resided on the Upper East for the duration of their working years, at the doggy daycare Biscuits & Bath. Their days have been based around 311 calls about bedbugs, which determine what apartment they\u2019ll be accompanying code inspectors to \u2014 and sniffing out bugs in.<\/p>\n

Canine Unit Inspector David Trevino has worked with the pups since they were hired, and let the dogs quarantine with him and his family in their Washington Heights apartment during the height of the pandemic, he told The City. The dogs are now back to living on the Upper East Side and working \u2014 although it\u2019s unclear for how much longer.<\/p>\n

The job search has begun for new bedbug-sniffing hounds, as Mickey and Nemo prepare to join their famous fellow alumni, Roscoe, in retirement from public service. (Roscoe has since found work in the private sector.) The HPD has already posted a notice seeking a handler\u00a0for a new pair of professional sniffing canines.<\/p>\n

The mutts may soon be replaced, but Mickey and Nemo will be sorely missed, especially by Trevino.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re the best dogs I\u2019ve ever worked with \u2014 only dogs I have ever worked with,\u201d he said. \u201cListen, I love those dogs so much.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
