MISSION: Working to protect and improve the lives and well-being of working and retired police, search and rescue, and service dogs through outreach, advocacy, education and support.
The Situation
Does it bother you when you hear our faithful Working Dogs referred
to as “equipment" instead of officers or partners?
This language is prevalent in our local law enforcement offices, in our
military and among the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol,
the largest canine users in the United States.
It is a fact that the majority of the K-9s that serve to protect the
general public are discharged from duty with absolutely NO BENEFITS. The
lucky ones get adopted by their human partners while the not so
fortunate are put to sleep.
It is outrageous that the general consensus among officials at various
levels of government seems to be that “their pension is sitting nicely by
the fireplace with their handler.”
Who helps the handler if their loyal partner needs medical attention or a
special diet as a result of his service to the public? WE DO! THE NATIONAL
K-9 WORKING DOG!
The NK9WD was established to help the adopting families
with the expenses that go with keeping a highly specialized community
servant comfortable in their retirement years.
The Solution
The National K-9 Working Dog, Inc. is busy identifying Working Dogs across the country so we can better serve them when they reach retirement age. It is our goal to assist as many police K-9s as possible. By combining your generous donations and our database of Working Dogs, no retired working dog should ever have to suffer discomfort or premature death because of lack of financial support.
