Search & Rescue and Law Enforcement dogs are heroes. They work tirelessly in often dangerous situations. They track missing persons in vast wilderness areas; navigate treacherous terrain; track and subdue criminals; detect explosives and narcotics; and protect their handlers. They safeguard us and our communities. It can cost thousands of dollars per dog per year to train, certify, equip and deploy these K-9s. For example:

• Ballistic vest - $4,000
• One training seminar - $500
• GPS collar - $1,200
• Helmet and goggles - $350

The dogs need your help! Every life protected and every life saved starts with someone like you.
