Officer Owens and K9 Sally, Cowpen PD, Spartanburg
In 2009 we limited the scope of our
reach to the police dogs of just California, with
the exception of the promise made to the Spartanburg
K9 Unit back in 2005.
We allow
anyone to specify a particular K9 for their donation
of the cost of a whole vest, to encourage people
to
donate
the cost of a whole vest, remember
we have three beautiful police
dogs
who
will wait
until
we find a sponsor.
Every year storms ravage
the Gulf Coast, responding to danger puts Sally,
Riska and Aiko in harm's way.
They still need a sponsor to
add to the $300 they raised
in
2005
for K-9 Armor vests.
