Adopt a K-9 Cop Matching Grant Program

Communities are in need of more K-9s due to department growth or to replace a K-9 that is retiring, injured or killed in the line of duty. Obtaining a K-9 is difficult due to budget cuts and municipality codes that prohibit police departments from soliciting money to fund a K-9. This is why the Adopt a K-9 Cop Matching Grant Program was created.

Donations from AKC Reunite and AKC Clubs help a police department’s need for a new K-9 to become a reality. To date, over $4 million in grants have been awarded for over 500 police dogs across the country!
