Thank you to protection4Paws for organizing the K-9 demonstrations again this year at the Peach Festival.

🍑🐾 THANK YOU, LEITERSBURG! 🐾🍑

What an incredible weekend at the Leitersburg Peach Festival! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Protection4Paws booth, we raised an amazing $2,817.00 to help provide lifesaving K9 Trauma Kits and emergency equipment for working K9s! 💙

A very special thank you to everyone who came back out and supported the festival after Saturday’s weather. We know the weekend didn’t exactly go as planned, which makes the turnout and support even more meaningful.

We also want to send a huge thank you to the Hagerstown Police Department, K9 Rona and K9 Bentley for joining us and putting on such an amazing K9 demonstration! 🐕‍🦺💙 It is always incredible to see these teams in action and to give the community an opportunity to see firsthand the skill, training, and dedication of our working K9s and their handlers.

Whether you made a purchase, donated, stopped to learn more about our mission, watched the K9 demonstration, or simply came by to say hello — you helped make this weekend a success.

Every dollar raised helps us continue protecting the K9 heroes who serve and protect our communities every day.

Thank you, Leitersburg Peach Festival, Hagerstown Police Department, and this incredible community for supporting Protection4Paws! 🍑🐾💙
