A HUGE thank you to Protection4Paws for your wonderful donation! Please help support them with a donation if you are able!

🎉🐾 Great news! Open Fundraiser https://square.link/u/MijSUSfs

K9 Ivy of the Western Iowa EMS K9 Association (IA) received their very own K9 Medical Kit (Buddy Bag) from Protection4Paws!

This lifesaving kit, valued at $400, gives the handler the tools needed to treat serious injuries in the field—because every second counts when it comes to protecting our K9 heroes. 💙🐕

But here’s the truth: many K9s are still waiting for this same protection.

Sometimes we have sponsors to cover the cost of these kits but not all k9s in need have kit sponsors, which is why we rely on the generosity of supporters like YOU to bridge the gap.

👉 You can help us protect more K9s by donating here: http://www.protection4paws.com/k9-fundraisers or at K9 Ivy’s fundraiser above.

Together, we can make sure no K9 hero is left without the protection they deserve. 🐾
