National Police Dog Foundation

The National Police Dog Foundation began to support k-9 units throughout the united states in 2004. We currently assist law enforcement agencies through funding to achieve their goals of providing a k-9 unit with quality Police dogs and training. The npdf has also incorporated a network of veterinarians to help assist agencies with providing for maintenance care and possible emergencies as well as costly medical situations that might occur during their active service career. Our network of veterinarians includes some of the countrys most valued specialists in many varying areas of health care. Currently many dogs for Police service work are imported from europe. The origins of most working breeds are in these countries, providing us with some of the best bloodlines available. Program services consist of seven individual funds/goals. K-9 purchasing fund assists law enforcement agencies with costs related to the purchase of k-9s. K-9 initial training fund assists law enforcement agencies with costs related to the initial training of k-9s.
