K-9 ARMOR wishes to thank our Sponsors

Thanks to Sierra Police Supply Company, distributors of Point Blank Body Armor for allowing us to purchase the KEVLAR® vests NIJ type III-A, fitted to each dog including patches for their department. Pictured left, you see the vital organs all protected by the bulletproof panels.

K-9 Armor pictured in the second photograph with the department patches Sierra Police add with velcro. A very special thank you to Tom and Bill at Sierra for their support offering us these vests at the special K-9 program cost of $695 plus $5 shipping and $57 tax. Sierra Police Supply also adds department patches for no charge.

Unlike Non-Profits that are tax-deductible but they pay income tax, Charity keeps nothing for ourselves, so you are rewarded with tax deduction, and we accomplish more because as a Charity we are tax-exempt and pay only the cost of the vest.

Only K-9 Armor receives this incredible price less than half of the $1500-2000 departments pay retail for the few who can afford to provide armor for these brave canines. Thank you Tom and Bill and all the staff at Sierra!

A special Thank You to Richmond PD K9 Sergeant Mitch Piexoto who allows his K9 Officers to come to shake paws at events to help us raise money, and to attend trials where they compete and demonstrate how they protect the community. Many of the officers donated their time to help protect their fellow partners on four legs, by attending events and passing the word along to other departments we were able to reach out across the state. They come from far and wide to compete for Top Dog, as they practice sniffing out bad guys hiding with guns in buildings, hiding in people's homes, running through the woods in the dark, we can all feel safer knowing these brave dogs are armed to the teeth when they catch their suspect! They all deserve a bulletproof vest just like Sabre of Richmond PD, pictured left wearing his K-9 Armor vest, he looks so handsome, look for his image on our facebook widget you can copy to your own page and help us protect all the police dogs of California.

The Freda B Runyon Foundation

Thanks to the Freda B Runyon Foundation we received a grant of $3500 in August 2010 and thanks to the generosity of the Freda B Runyon Foundation for their $3500 donation we ordered 4 vests! Thank you Sharon and the Board of Directors of 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.

Many Thanks to Wells Fargo Oakmont Branch Manager Ruth Ramirez for a gift of $750 to cover Sonoma County Sheriff K9 Axl.

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!

Happy Birthday Savannah!

Thanks to Savannah in Cupertino and her friends, instead of a birthday present when she turned nine years-old, she and her friends made a donation of $110.00 to help protect all the police dogs who send nose kisses of thanks! What a great example you set for everyone of all ages around the world, generosity is a virtue in every language and a gift from you means the world to us!
