the
shadow
Fund
Established to assist with the high cost of medical care that typically occurs with retired K9s. The “Shadow Fund” is also symbolic of how the canine shadows his handler during their tour of duty.
The Fund will help cover some of the cost of medical bills for these retired dogs so they can live out the remainder of their lives in relative comfort without creating a financial burden for their handlers.
Medical Costs
The “Shadow Fund” is dedicated to assisting with the high cost of medical bills and helps to ensure that the handler is not forced to choose euthanasia due to the financial burden.
It is a small price to pay for all the hard work these working dogs provided to their community, and a way of saying thank you to their handlers.
