K-9 Armor is the only registered tax-deductible,
non-profit public benefit charity approved by the CA
Secretary of State and Attorney General's Office, the
Dept. of Justice, the CA Franchise Tax Board and Federal
IRS
501(c)(3)
tax-exempt status, for the purpose
of raising public funds to supply bullet-proof K-9 Armor
vests to the brave, beautiful police dogs of California.
K-9 Armor and the Marin County Deputy
Sheriffs Association work together to accept donations
from the
public to protect California law enforcement dogs. Every
time we raise $750 we purchase a Kevlar
K-9 Armor vest
and give it FREE to another California law enforcement
dog. Most police departments and law enforcement agencies
do not budget for bullet-proof vests for their K-9's.
Every two-legged officer and member of law enforcement
who carries a gun, automatically receives a bullet-proof
vest and we believe their four-legged partners deserve
the same protection. These brave, beautiful dogs risk
their lives to protect us, help us protect them with
your
tax-deductible donations.
K-9 Armor started in September 2003 partnering with the
Marin County Sheriff's Office with the help of Sgt Don
Wick who was later promoted to Lt and Post Commander in
2008. Because of the Marin County Deputy Sheriff Association's
bylaws, he is no longer able to serve on the K-9 Armor
or MCDSA board of directors. Thank you Don for five years
of support and encouragement.
The current K-9 Armor board of
directors includes President Deputy Daniel Marrett
who is a Federal ATF and Marin County Sheriff K-9
Handler, Vice President Sgt. Mike Crain of the
Marin County Sheriff's Dept. in San
Rafael,
CA
and Co-Founder,
Secretary and Treasurer Suzanne
Saunders who works as
a Marin County EMT and lives in San Rafael. All
board members
volunteer our
time and we do not pay ourselves, ALL donations
are 100 percent directed toward purchase of K-9
Armor vests. Thanks also to Deputy Karen Wofford
for helping direct our web site format and providing
a link from the Marin County Deputy Sheriff's Association
web site and helping direct us how to acheive our
own 501(c)(3) for our tax-deductible status.

Our costs include $695 for the vest,
$5 for shipping, $57 tax, and $12 for side panels
that say K-9
Armor
and
incidental
cost of velcro. Each vest includes two department patches
from the department receiving the vest attached to the
vest by velcro in case the vest is handed down to a replacement
dog and they need a new vest the patches can be transferred,
since each vest is custom-fit to each dog. Thanks to
Sierra Police Supply for adding velcro to the patches
for no
charge. They supply these Kevlar vests to us for at this
incredible cost and add the velcro at no charge to the
custom patches because they believe in our cause and
give us
a great
price through their special, K-9 Program.
Take care of those who take care of you!
