Giving Tuesday is a global movement built on a simple idea: when we come together to do good, we change lives. At Project K-9 Hero, that mission is personal. Every donation helps provide critical medical care, safe retirement, and the dignity our retired Police K-9s and Military Working Dogs deserve.
Today, we invite you to join millions around the world in choosing generosity, and choosing our Heroes. Because every act of giving counts, and every K-9 Hero matters.
