The annual RCMP ‘Name the Puppy’ contest is back!

Kids are asked to name the future Police Service Dogs.

Entries are accepted online only and can be submitted here. The contest is open to Canadian kids between the ages of 4-14.

This year, the names for the future police dogs must begin with the letter A and be 1-2 syllables and have no more than 9 letters.

13 names will be selected and all entries must be submitted by Monday, March 19,2025. The 13 whose names are selected will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the puppy they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP water bottle.

Good Luck!
