FAYETTEVILLE, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Fayetteville Police Department’s K9s Poncho and Voodoo will receive bullet and stab protective vests thanks to a charitable donation from a non-profit organization, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.

K9 Poncho’s vest is sponsored by Mari Deese of Norco, CA., and will be embroidered with the sentiment “Born to Love-Trained to Serve- Loyal Always.” K9 Voodoo’s vest is sponsored by Mari Deese of Norco, CA., and will be embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring those who served and sacrificed.” Delivery is expected within eight to 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. This potentially lifesaving body armour for four-legged K9 officers is U.S. made, custom-fitted, and NIJ certified. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has provided over 4,156 vests to K9s in all 50 states at a value of $6.9 million, made possible by both private and corporate donations.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. accepts tax-deductible contributions in any amount, while a single donation of $960 will sponsor one vest. Each vest has a value of $1,744-$2,283, weighs an average of 4-5 lb., and comes with a five-year warranty. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978.
