Caring for the officers that care for us!! #familymembers
VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital is proud to share our partnership with the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County Retired K9 Officers Healthcare Fund (RK9OHF) to raise money for the coverage of veterinary care costs to canine police officers that have worked to protect our S. Florida community. In retirement, canine officers often live out their years in comfort with their handlers, or partners. Yet, after a career of service these officers are prone to advance orthopedic and service related conditions in addition to issues associated with simply being a senior pet. Typically, there is no financial support for these officers after retirement.
It is the belief of the RK9OHF that the cost of healthcare should be supplemented. The Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County could not agree more. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects and manages donations to memorial/ healthcare funds, training programs, education programs and other local nonprofit organizations the Retried K9 Officer Healthcare Fund seemed a perfect extension of their mission.
Under the supervision of the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County, the RK9OHF and VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital provide the best in wellness care to these officers and cover a portion of those costs.
With this partnership, retired K9 officers receive preventative care from VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital at a negotiated rate and the RK9OHF cover a portion of those fees.
Please consider donating to the RK9OHF to support our South Florida K9 Police Officers in their retirement. Donations can be made directly at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital

What an informative article. My dogs and cat are my babies,
ReplyDeleteand I try to keep them as clean as possible, but somehow, they are still fleabags. Pet care is no joke!
I have always been wary of using chemicals on them, and it seems like I have the best solution now.
I am definitely going to try out the
natural flea and tick spray
on them in order to protect my babies from flea and ticks. Thanks!
