K9 Sonic’s vest was sponsored by Sharon Parker of Sand Springs, OK and will be embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring those who served and sacrificed”. Delivery is expected within ten weeks.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States.

The program is open to U.S. dogs at least 20 months old, actively employed, and certified with law enforcement or related agencies. K9s with expired vests are also eligible to participate. There are an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. accepts tax-deductible contributions in any amount, while a single donation of $1,050 will sponsor one vest.

This is Gustavs! He is a college student from Europe, Latvia and doing his summer internship with Southwestern Advantage here in Guin selling educational resources door to door to pay his way through school. He just checked in with the Guin City Hall and Guin Police Department and has proper identification available. He drives a grey Nissan Rogue with Maryland plates and has a slight accent, but it’s understandable. Don’t be alarmed, he is very friendly. If you get a knock on the door from him, he is sound and legit.
