Saving K-9 Bak's Life
On the evening of July 11th, at 7:05 PM, Jason Johnson, our Founder/CEO, received an URGENT message from a K-9 Supervisor in Wisconsin stating that K-9 Bak was set to be euthanized the next day, July 12th, at 2:30 pm, due to aggression and behavioral issues.
Although we had no room at our at our Rehabilitation & Rehoming Facility, our team responded immediately to make space, working overnight to save Bak's life.
Jason spoke with the K-9 Supervisor on the morning of the 12th and gave his word that if they could cancel that scheduled appointment, we would IMMEDIATELY accept Bak into our program and select a day for them to transport him our 177-acre sanctuary in Tennessee.
A few hours later, Jason received this response from the K-9 Supervisor: “Just went in and spoke with the Chief. He wants to have a meeting on Monday to devise a plan. I will get in contact with you after that to see if the 24th fits? Main thing is his appointment for today was canceled. Thank you!”
We want to thank all of our supporters and donors for allowing us to continue to be a trusted resource for Law Enforcement, Military Units, and Government Agencies worldwide. It’s because all of you that we were able to save Bak’s life!
We will continue to work with this department to attempt to get Bak to our facility on July 24th or thereabout. At that time, we will officially welcome him as a member of the Project K-9 Hero Pack!
When K-9 Bak arrives, he will receive 24/7 care from our dedicated staff. Our trainers will work tirelessly to identify his triggers, establish a routine, provide necessary medical care, and ensure he is healthy, fed, and groomed. We are committed to giving Bak the best possible chance at a happy retirement. Your support can make a significant difference in Bak's journey to a new beginning. Thank you for helping save his life.
UPDATE ON K-9 BAK
The K-9 Supervisor met with the Chief Monday, July 15th and we have coordinated with the department and the handler to physically drive Bak to our HQ in Tennessee from Wisconsin. He will be arriving at the Project K-9 Hero Rehabilitation and Rehoming Facility the morning of July 24th, where they will work one on one with our extremely experienced staff to properly transition this Hero into our care! He will become an official member of our Pack on that day of his arrival.
