K-9 Vest Program
We are on a mission to vest as many K-9 police dogs as possible. Please help us to achieve that mission.
While utilizing police dogs is a common practice in police departments across the U.S., bullet- proof canine vests are not part of departments’ regular budgets.
Police departments typically do not have the funds needed to vest their K-9 officers. We believe the development and safety of Police Canines is essential to the Law Enforcement Profession. List of departments that received vests from our charity
We appreciate any amount that you can donate to our cause.
Please make a donation conveniently and securely through PayPal or mail a check to:
