Purchase a Bulletproof Vest
Protect a K9 from Criminal Attack
Criminals will do anything to get K9s off the streets—even shooting or stabbing them. That’s why it’s so important to protect K9 officers with bulletproof vests made of Kevlar.
Purchase a Life-saving Kevlar Vest
Kevlar vests are more expensive than alternatives. But because they are lighter and cooler, Kevlar bulletproof vests save K9 lives.
The money you donate will be earmarked to purchase a Kevlar bulletproof vest for a K9 near you. Save the life of a K9 officer today.

Purchase a Heat Alarm
Protect a K9 from Heat in a Locked Vehicle
K9s are specialized officers; therefore, they are used for specialized tasks. If a K9 is on the beat but not being utilized, he or she may sit in a locked vehicle for minutes or hours.
The temperature in a locked vehicle rises dramatically faster and higher than outside ambient air. When it’s 95 degrees outside, it could reach an incredible 143 degrees in a parked vehicle.
Purchase a Life-saving Heat Alarm
A heat alarm is specialized equipment that monitors the temperature in a locked vehicle. K9 heat alarms save lives.
Your donation will be tagged to purchase a heat alarm for a K9 near you. Save the life of a K9 officer. Donate today.
