We reached our goal to buy Ballistic
Vests for the Pinal County Sheriff's K-9s. The total amount
collected is $4,762.00 Dollars. On July 17, we paid $3,131.60
Dollars for the purchase of four vests.
Each vest is fitted to each individual dog.
We have also purchased a K-9 Heat Sensor Alarm
in the amount of $659 Dollars for a Posse's member car.
All Pinal County Sheriff's
K-9 vehicles have Heat Sensor Alarms
