Does your K-9 Unit need vests?
The mission of Canine Wounded Heroes is to protect as many police dogs as possible from gunshot and stabbing injuries and death.
Canine Wounded Heroes will outfit police dogs with custom-fit bullet and knife resistant vests, made in the USA of high quality materials, at no cost to police departments that want their dogs protected.
All we ask is that police departments arrange for media coverage and forward photographs of the dogs and handlers to us when they receive and are wearing their vests. We are a non-profit charity and when our donation is publicized, it helps us raise funds for the next vests needed to keep more police dogs as safe as possible.
Use our Contact Page to start the process of getting vests for your brave canines, and keep them SAFE!
My name is Duke and I am a police K-9 officer. My handler had another dog, named Kody, before me who was stabbed and died when he was dispatched to apprehend a criminal.
Now I am pleased to speak for Canine Wounded Heroes who, in honor of Kody, provided me with a bullet and stab resistant vest that keeps me as safe as my human partner.
