Just got a call.. the dogs need new canine vests.. Orange and black/saying Police Canine on the side.. (Anyone know who supplies these please let me know I'll ask them direct for donation) The ones that were sent are too small for the dogs.. They need Large and Extra Large..

Also if anyone wants to donate money to these noble creatures..

Send check Payable to NYC Police Foundation-Canine.. The check must say -Canine for the dogs to get the money, otherwise it is deposited into the general fund.. This group will need donations especially since their dogs will have to be retired after this.. They will need to get new dogs and train them...

The vests and checks can be sent to this address.. PLEASE remember the -Canine on the check
NY City Police Foundation-Canine
345 Park Ave..
NY, NY 10154

Thanks everyone and God Bless....

Thanks... I have to run out.. Hope somebody cares.. One of the dogs died falling 30 or 40 feet down thru the rubble.. Another almost died from heat exhaustion.. They are giving it their all... Too Sad...

Bump for a good cause. Get this, Canada is sending out boots for the dogs to help protect their feet from the glass and steel.

Can't get police dog vests but I believe I can lay my hands on some SAR dog vests. (Since most of those working dogs are probably SAR dogs anyway.) I'll see what I can do. I've got a friend who works an air scent dog and a cadaver dog. Actually I haven't even checked to see if they are still in West Virginia at the moment.

almostknight: please email who is making the request and I'll see what I can do.

One wonders what self-proclaimed 'animal welfare' organizations such as PETA, HSUS, AHS, AHA, ASPCA, and similar groups are doing with the hundreds of millions of dollars these organizations possess collectively, other than spending it on political lobbying, fund-raising, and promoting extremist animal rights views not shared by 90% of the public?

cavingjan just sent pm

As I was trying to explain... This is the only way I know of to insure that the money and or donations go directly to the dogs.. a pay pal donation system would be nice, anyone know how to go about this.. The request came directly from a Police Officer whose name I don't think I'm allowed to disclose.. I don't know if he has some sort of department gag order.. A friend of mine working in the city heard from him and the address and payable name is the only way to insure that those specific dogs get what they need.. Sorry for being evasive I really don't know how much I'm allowed to post but I will check today.. You see my friend is stepping outside his agency too... so as to make sure that the money and donations go to the dogs..

I really wish I hadn't heard about those dogs dieing. Last year my German Shepard died and it saddened me greatly. They are like family to some people,including myself.

Anyway,bump for a good cause.

They worked very hard in that poisonous rubble.. Their eyes were scratched from the dust and had to be washed regularly.. Their feet were cut by the glass.. One went into cardiac arrest..but was thankfully revived.. I was able to get some Pet tabs donated and large vari-kennels for them to rest in.. They are like family to these men and women, and they are torn. The dogs are working hard, with the hope of possibly finding people.. This is all too sad.. I didn't want money or donations getting lost in a bloated charitable agency.. Hence my post... Anyone .. feel free to spread the word about these dogs..
