ABOUT
In 2014, AKC Reunite began offering matching grants to AKC clubs to help donate K-9 officers to police departments. The Fund may be used to match a grant from another eligible not-for-profit organization to replace or train a search or rescue dog lost in the line of duty. Funds are available to match funds from AKC kennel clubs to purchase working police dogs.
The partnering kennel club(s) must raise at least twenty-five percent of the purchase price. The recipient police department must agree to display the AKC Reunite logo on the K9 unit vehicle(s). AKC Reunite’s contribution will match donations at a three-to-one ratio, up to $7,500 per grant.
AKC Reunite, in partnership with AKC Clubs across the country, will provide matching grants so police departments in need of K-9 officers will have the funding to obtain a working K-9. This grant can be used to match a grant from another eligible not-for-profit organization to replace or train a search or rescue dog lost in the line of duty.
