BACKGROUND
Background
In 2014, AKC Reunite began offering matching grants to AKC clubs to help donate K-9 officers to police departments. The Fund may be used to match a grant from another eligible not-for-profit organization to replace or train a search or rescue dog lost in the line of duty. Funds are available to match funds from AKC kennel clubs to purchase working police dogs.The recipient police department (Sheriff's Office) must agree to display the AKC Reunite logo on the K9 unit vehicle(s). AKC Reunite’s contribution will match donations at a three-to-one ratio, up to $7,500 per grant.
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office applied for this grant in July of 2022, and has been awarded the grant in the amount of $7,125. The grant requires a $2,500 match, which will be covered by existing funds in the Sheriff's Office FY2023 budget. No additional County funds are required.
