HOWLING HEROES K-9 MEMORIAL AWARD
A Lasting Tribute to Our Four-Legged Heroes
Police, Fire, Military, and Search & Rescue K-9s dedicate their lives to protecting others. Their loyalty, courage, and unwavering service leave an unforgettable legacy that deserves to be honored long after their final watch.
The VFR K-9 Memorial Award was created to recognize these extraordinary partners by providing a custom memorial collar at no cost to their handler or department. Each handcrafted memorial serves as a lasting reminder of the bond shared between a handler and their K-9 partner, preserving their memory and honoring a life of selfless service.
Whether they served on the streets, in the military, on search and rescue teams, or in specialized units, every working K-9 deserves to be remembered.
