July 25, 2005 K-9 Armor added Spartanburg K-9 Unit

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.
