Whether you walk around the block or hit the trails, every STEP you take and every DOLLAR you raise, helps us purchase more K9s to make communities and schools safer! 

Don’t feel like walking? Consider making a DONATION or become a SPONSOR now to show your support! 

WHY?: 
All money raised by your efforts will help us purchase highly-trained K9s for law enforcement agencies, fire departments and school police departments who need our support more than ever now. A K9, along with the initial training, starts at $15,000 and can exceed $45,000, depending on the K9’s discipline and detection skills. These costs, coupled with budget constraints, prevent agencies from purchasing or replacing a much-needed K9.

K9s are invaluable to the safety of our communities. They are used to sweep for explosives, search for narcotics, apprehend suspects on the run and search/rescue missing people. Plus- K9 partners help officers do their jobs safer, faster and, in many cases, have saved their lives.

Despite a global pandemic, K9s4COPs remains 100% focused on our mission to train and place highly-trained K9s in our communities and schools—but we can’t do this alone.

"Not only are our handlers more equipped to do their job safely and more efficient, but our children's schools and our streets are safer."

- Deputy Clayton Marshall, Harris County Constable Precinct 4

"Having been a K9 handler for ten years, I know firsthand that there is no greater 'tool' that can be utilized in the line of duty. A life saving device that not only becomes our partner, but our best friend, that would give their lives to preserve ours. There is no stronger bond...and for that, I am extremely thankful."

- Deputy James Glaze, Harris County Sheriff’s Office

“If it were not for K9s4COPs, I would not be where I am today in my K-9 career. The impact that K9s4COPs has on the community cannot be measured. Thank you so much K9s4COPs for everything you have done for me and my fellow brothers in blue. My family thanks for you providing the best and bringing me home safe at night."

- Dep. Kenny Taylor, Harris County Sheriff Office

“People do not understand we would not have a career law enforcement without these 4-legged partners. Thank you K9s4COPs for allowing me such a valuable tool to complete my work each and every day. The bad guys are not grateful, but on behalf of me and my family we certainly are!”

- Deputy Larry Graves, Harris County Sheriff's Office
