Vest-a-Dog Program

I bought a calendar today. Maybe you would like to do the same. One calendar dog is a Golden, so of course I have posted that picture. Check out the link and see if you'd like to help this organization.

HELP PROTECT THE DOGS WHO HELP PROTECT YOU!
NEW! MASS. VEST-A-DOG 2009 CALENDARS

In April 2008, *Massachusetts Vest-a- Dog, Inc. was organized as an independent non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to provide bullet-protective vests for police dogs throughout Massachusetts. * Massachusetts Vest-a-Dog was a division of the Barnstable Police Association from May 2000 to March 2008, during which volunteers and donors made it possible to provide 192 bullet/stab-protective vests across Massachusetts in the following law enforcement agencies: local police departments, sheriff departments, MA State Police, MA Dept of Corrections, MBTA (MA Bay Transportation Authority), MA Environmental Police, MA Dept of Mental Retardation, USAF- Hanscom AFB, and USCG Gloucester. The wonderful people – and many of their pets - we met along the way enriched our lives in ways we could never have foreseen. Thank you!
For every K-9 risking his life, day in and day out...and for the peace of mind for the officer by his side.
If you know of a new MASS. police dog that needs a vest, please let us know!
The bullet protective vests we provide cost $725.00 as of July 2008.
