Hi there! I'm Jodi Burnett, author of the Flint River, FBI K9 Thriller, and Tin Star K9 Series—11 books that all have one central theme: K-9 law enforcement. I love the K-9 program and its benefits to law enforcement and military service. Over the years, I've learned that military and police dogs are some of the most amazing, giving animals in the world, willing to sacrifice their lives for their handlers and the communities they protect. In my research, I've also learned that, like many communities, my local county’s K-9 program is funded solely by donations from the public.

Sheriff Tim Norton's ultimate goal is to double the size of his single dog K9 Unit, but for now, they need a bite suit for training purposes. The Elbert County K9 Unit is not in the county's meager budget, so the only way they can get the supplies they need is if we help.

RICO is a fantastic dog who is the sweetheart of our community. He loves children and families and leads the way in building the Sheriff's Department's community relations. We love having RICO in our community, and we need your help.

Please participate in this worthy cause by donating to RICO to get the training tools he needs to stay safe. Thank you so much for your donation!
