2019 Milestone: Home Acquired

An aerial view of our kennels area in Whitwell, TN.

In 2019, Project K‑9 Hero took a major step forward by purchasing 177 acres in Whitwell, Tennessee. This property gave us the opportunity to create a true home for the retired K‑9 Heroes whose courage and service inspired our mission from the very beginning.

“When we purchased the Whitwell property in 2019, it gave us the chance to build a true home for the retired K‑9 Heroes whose stories brought this mission to life.

Every Hero we’ve supported, whether living here on campus or receiving medical care across the country, reminds us why this land matters.

This property now serves as our nonprofit's national headquarters, and we’re still working hard to raise the funds needed to complete the full facility. Like anything worth doing, it’s a process, but we’re proud to keep pushing forward every day to build a place worthy of the Heroes who gave us everything.” — Sheena M. Haller, Vice President of Operations
