Help us protect the dogs that fly deep
into the forest against drug
lords armed with machine guns, these dogs deserve
nothing
less than minimum standard, heavy-duty armor
that covers the underbelly. K-9 Armor
vests includes a rappel loop for helicopter travel,
our
K-9 Armor
dogs
can fly!
K-9 Armor protects all the law
enforcement dogs of California from individual
city police departments to the largest state agencies
including California Highway Patrol and Department
of Fish
and Game.

Sunday, October 26, 2008 We raised $75 and
received a beautiful award! Thanks to SFPD Chief
of Police Heather Fong for stopping by to shake
paws and congratulate us for our dedication to
providing protective gear for police dogs. Thanks
to Chief Fong, SFPD purchased 20 bulletproof
vests for their K-9 Unit, if only every police
department would follow their example! For now,
most agencies do not budget for bulletproof vests
for their K-9's so it is up to us to raise the
money and save these brave, beautiful dogs. Help
us protect them by donating on our Paypal button
or send us a check to our address at the top

Officer Owens and K9 Sally, Cowpen PD, Spartanburg
In 2009 we limited the scope of our
reach to the police dogs of just California, with
the exception of the promise made to the Spartanburg
K9 Unit back in 2005.
We allow
anyone to specify a particular K9 for their donation
of the cost of a whole vest, to encourage people
to
donate
the cost of a whole vest, remember
we have three beautiful police
dogs
who
will wait
until
we find a sponsor.
Every year storms ravage
the Gulf Coast, responding to danger puts Sally,
Riska and Aiko in harm's way.
They still need a sponsor to
add to the $300 they raised
in
2005
for K-9 Armor vests.
