South Georgia Bank is proud to support the Georgia Police K9 Foundation with a recent donation to help protect the K9 officers who protect us.

These funds help provide lifesaving equipment such as ballistic vests, kennel inserts, Narcan kits, first aid kits, and heat alarm systems for working K9 teams across our state.

The Georgia Police K9 Foundation assists law enforcement agencies by supplying critical gear and support for their K9 partners. We’re honored to play a small part in keeping these four-legged officers safe while they serve our communities.
