Supporting Active and Retired Police K9’s Since 2010
K9 Hero Guardians was founded to provide assistance for law enforcement K9’s. It is our mission to provide funding to law enforcement agencies for the purchase and use of police service dogs. It is by doing this that we hope to promote the use of these police service dogs in the line of duty and through demonstrations for community and school groups.
K9 Hero Guardians is an all volunteer-based program. All proceeds raised support active and retired police K9’s. These donations are used to cover costs associated with purchasing a dog, training, equipment, veterinary care, food, and more.

Veterinary Care for Active and Retired Police K9’s
Since 2010, K9 Hero Guardians has provided over $200,000 in funding for medical care for active and retired police K9’s. This includes annual check-ups, medications, emergency care, surgeries, vaccinations, preventatives, and more.
K9 Canjo retired from the Saginaw Police Department in 2019. He was the first retired K9 to receive donations for veterinary care from K9 Hero Guardians. Since 2019, over $70,000 in veterinary bills have been paid for using donations secured by K9 Hero Guardians. Thanks to the the generous support of our donors, several retired K9’s have been given more time with their families.
