During this holiday season I have chosen to help Police K-9 Chiv receive a ballistic vest. Chiv is a 4 year old Belgium Malinois from the state of Texas. He's a big boy weighing in at 80lbs, which is quite large for that breed, but still known around his town to have top notch speed and force. He's certified in narcotic detection, apprehension and is on his local SWAT team. Currently Chiv protects his city without body armor.

Police K-9s across the United States have 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. What is surprising about the K-9s is they are not automatically issued ballistic vests. Typically they are donated by non-profits or individuals like myself donating them.

I am donating the LOF StreetFighter ballistic vest. These vests are stab proof and bullet proof. What's wonderful about these vests is they can be worn for the dogs entire shift. Each ballistic vest costs $1,200. So this holiday season, I ask you to help support my mission and help Chiv receive a ballistic vest that he so deserves!!

Brady's K9 Fund is founded and run by 12 year old Brady Snakovsky from Ohio. When Brady was 8 he was watching one of his favorite police shows on TV. He noticed that many of the K-9s were not wearing a ballistic vest like their human partners. That is when he 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. He didn't like that. He feels all K-9s should have body armor issued to them and wanted to offer something to fix the problem. That is when Brady started the non-profit organization, Brady's K9 Fund. K-9 handlers can simply visit Brady's website and request his help in giving their partner body armor. Since 2018 when BK9F has been started it has raised over 1/2 million dollars and have vested 476 dogs across the USA.
