As a family, we are proud supporters of law enforcement and the dedication they show every day. That commitment extends to police K9s as well, which is why we are helping provide K9 Sergies with the protection of a ballistic and stab-proof vest. With crime on the rise, it has never been more important to ensure these courageous dogs are equipped with the protection they deserve.

Police K9s across the United States are specifically trained to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel. Their duties include: searching for drugs and explosives, locating missing people, finding crime scene evidence and weapons, apprehending bad guys, and supporting the community by public appearances. These courageous dogs lay their lives on the line in order to protect their streets, however they are not automatically issued ballistic vests to help keep them safe.

I am donating the LOF StreetFighter ballistic vest to K9 Sergies. These vests are both stab- and bullet-resistant, providing vital protection while being comfortable enough for the dogs to wear throughout their entire shift. Each vest costs $1,200, so I’ve partnered with the nonprofit organization Brady’s K9 Fund to help reach this goal. Any funds raised beyond Sergies’ vest will go toward protecting a second K9 in need.

About Brady's K9 Fund:

Brady's K9 Fund is founded by Brady Snakovsky from Ohio. When Brady was 8-year-old he was watching one of his favorite police shows on TV. He noticed that the K9s were not wearing ballistic vests like their human partners. That is when Brady learned that body armor is not automatically issued to dogs. K-9 units across the United States are typically run off donations and not by the departments yearly budgets. Brady felt all K9s should have body armor issued to them and wanted to offer something to fix the problem. Brady started the non-profit foundation, Brady's K9 Fund. K9 handlers can simply visit Bradysk9fund.com and request his help in giving their partner body armor. Since 2018 when BK9F has been started it has raised over $6.5M and have vested over 1,390 dogs across the USA and 4 other countries. Mary Jane sure would have loved Brady.
