(donation of surplus property) and 102-36.365 (donation of canines used 
for performance of law enforcement duties). The TSA Canine Program 
developed the TSA CTC to train and deploy explosive detection canine

CTC Adoption Program to find suitable individuals or families to adopt 
and provide good homes to canines who do not graduate from the training 
program. Individuals seeking to adopt a TSA canine must complete the 
TSA CTC Adoption Application. This collection of information allows the 
TSA CTC to collect personal information from the applicants to 
determine their suitability to adopt a TSA canine.
