Retired K9 Officer Healthcare Fund

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

Who's looking out for our local Retired K9 Officers???

VCA Support Local K9 Law Enforcement Officers both active and in retirement.

For the next three months, VCA Charities is dedicating their fundraising efforts to local community charities. VCA Hollywood's efforts will be to raise awareness and funds for the Sheriff's Foundation of Broward County's Retired K9 Officers Healthcare Fund. We proudly support this fund and it's commitment to provide healthcare to K9 Officers in retirement.

In retirement, K9 Police Officers are no longer financially supported by the department they served. Their handlers, or partners, are often the ones who voluntarily adopt these animals to live out their retirement in comfort.

The Sheriff Foundation of Broward County Retired K9 Officers Heathcare Fund’s mission is to provide the best in wellness care to these canine officers that have worked to protect our S. Florida community by defraying veterinary care costs in their retirement. Every dollar we raise goes to support this wellness care.

Through direct donation and the sale of VCA WOOF/MEOW hats and other apparel, we will be focusing our fundraising efforts on this worthy charity from March 24^th- June 15^th.

Donations can also be made at https://vcahospitals.com/in-the-community/vca-charities

Retired K9 Officer Healthcare Fund!!

VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital is proud to share our inaugural 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 a senior pet. Typically, there is no financial support for these officers after retirement.

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. Total cost to the handler/partner is 35% of the initial bill.

Please consider donating to the RK9OHC to support our South Florida K9 Police Officers in their retirement.
