Georgia K9 Foundation Goals
1) To raise awareness within the State and the local communities of the inestimable contribution of the police K9 and how they save lives and make our communities safer.
2) To protect these valuable assets and friends with safety equipment especially ballistic vests and heat alarm systems.
3) To educate through annually certifying, and providing advanced training and tools to allow the K-9 Teams to perform at optimum levels for protection of the citizens of Georgia.
4) To provide retirement support (food and medical care) for retired law enforcement K-9s in the absence of State or local retirement benefits (food, medical care) for the four legged K9 officer. In addition we aim to have local governments implement financial assistance for 5 years for retired K9s.
