Wisconsin Vest-A-Dog was started in
2005 and is a non-profit, tax deductible
organization endorsed by the local veterinary
association. 100% of every donation is used
for the purchase and shipping of vests.
The goal of the VEST-A-DOG program is to
provide a bullet proof and stab proof vest for
every police dog in Wisconsin. The vests are
the only protection these K-9 officers have until
their human partners arrive on the scene.

Sadly, many law enforcement agencies and police departments do not have the funds to
purchase body armor that can save the lives of their police dogs. The cost of each vest is
$840.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP!
In Wisconsin, we have over 260 canine officers. Most of them do
not have protection. With your help and generosity, we can protect
them as they courageously serve to protect us. They put their lives
on the line for ours every day. On a moments notice, and without a
second thought, they will give up their life to save ours.

PARTNERS, FRIENDS & FAMILY
K-9 officers live with their human partners. They become a part of their family. As special
partners, K-9 officers give their lives so human officers can return home to their families. Sgt.
Brian Reboltz states, “They’re always a working dog, but when you get off work at the end of
the night, it becomes a family friend. We don’t want to lose our friend.”

OVER A DOZEN DOGS ARE KILLED EACH YEAR
Most were shot or stabbed by the suspects they were attempting to apprehend. K-9 police
dogs are an important and necessary part of crime prevention. Every day they totally carry out
their dangerous work to keep us safe.
They deserve the same level of protection as their human partners. They deserve bullet
proof & stab proof vests too!!
