K-9 Armor vests are made of
Type III-A Kevlar®
and custom-fit to each dog, protecting them with the same quality vest for their human partners but made with arm holes for four legs instead of two.

Thanks to a fundraiser for Canine Troy at Starbucks on Missouri Flat Road in Placerville on August 22nd we received $100 on Facebook, $120 to the web site, $500 from the Starbucks fundraiser and $3500 from the Freda B Runyon Foundation!

They designated $500 for El Dorado County Sheriff Canine Troy, $1500 for 2 lucky Richmond PD canines Bosco and Maverick and $750 for CHP K9 Becks, with the $500 left over toward K-9 Armor vest for the next police dog in California, who all send nose kisses of thanks.

Visit our K9 Pictures page to see all the beautiful police dogs who say thanks!

We raised $180.00 at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, CA June 11-13, 2010 and added El Dorado County Sheriff K-9 Troy pictured left, with
K-9 Armor Co-Founder Suzanne Saunders.

Many thanks to Jim and all the fine staff at Canidae Pet Foods for sponsoring the Horse Expo and Dog Expo 2010. Without their generosity, many worthy canine causes would be out in the cold without a bone, thanks to Rocket's Comet Dogs we were treated to special mention and demonstrations and the El Dorado County Sheriff K9 dogs showed off running and biting!

Visit our Sponsors page to see all the generous donations that helped to make the event successful and fun! Special thanks to Canine Troy's family, and everyone who came down to shake paws and all the beautiful prizes to raise money to save the police dogs.

$3500 from the Freda B Runyon Foundation helped to cover CHP K9 Becks and 2 more Richmond PD canines Bosco and Maverick, thanks to $750 from Chris and Karen Tallerico who donated for K9 Rasp, we also covered K9 Arrow in 2008 and Sabre in 2009, all pictured left.

Special thanks to Sgt Mark Hunter for inviting us to the Petaluma PD K9 Trials
August 7, 2010
we have been attending every year since 2005.

His sponsorship allowed us to find and provide a free
K-9 Armor vest to 25 police dogs throughout California during that time.

Thanks to Wells Fargo Oakmont Branch Manager Ruth Ramirez, who donated $750 for Sonoma County Sheriff K9 Axl pictured left and to Chris and Karen Tallerico, who donated $750 for Richmond PD K9 Rasp, pictured right. Both of these dogs will receive a bulletproof

K-9 Armor bulletproof vest!

Click the picture of Bosco from Richmond PD below for a slideshow of the dogs in action at the Petaluma PD K9 Trials Aug 15, 2009 where we raised $215 and gave a K-9 Armor vest to Sabre of Richmond PD. At their K9 Trials August 7, 2010 we received a generous donation of $750 from Chris and Karen Tallerico of Hercules, for a whole vest to Richmond PD in memory of fallen K9 Officer Brad Moody, we are proud and honored to apply their donation of a bulletproof vest for Richmond PD K9 Rasp. Rasp and his handler Officer Mandell, were recently engaged in battle with a suspect shooting at Rasp and the suspect broke off the dog's tail as Rasp held on and took down the bad guy who was arrested for assaulting and amputating an officer! At the Petaluma Trials we saw Rasp perform with great determination even without his tail. What an incredible story, stay tuned for a picture with Rasp giving thanks for his new vest!

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 of this page. Thanks for your donations!

Congratulations to Rico, Petaluma P.D. and to Arrow, Richmond P.D. for receiving their K-9 Armor vests on March 24, 2008
