Hello! My name is Sarah, and I work for Dogwood Pet Hospital. We are raising money to purchase 9 ballistics vests for the K9 units of the Loves Park Police Department and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office. After tragically losing RPD K9 Nyx last year in the line of duty and the events that happened with K9 Andii on 4/19/25, we got to thinking. We realized that we have never seen the K9's of either unit in ballistics vests. This is something that we need to change, and this is where you can help! Each K9 Storm ballistics vest is approximately $4,000 and comes with a lifetime warranty. They are lightweight and allow the K9 to move freely. We are working on vesting 9 K9s total!
