Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a 501c(3) all volunteers,
non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing bullet and stab protective
vests to law enforcement dogs. Police dogs in Massachusetts
are first priority, followed by New England Area police dogs and dogs
throughout the United States.
 Each vest costs $950.  The non profit has raised over $400,000 since
their inception in 2009 and outfitted over 437 K9s with vests in 36 states.





Vested Interest in K9s President, Sandy Marcal, is hoping to
provide at least 5 police dogs with bullet and stab protective vests with the
proceeds. “We hope that animal lovers in the area will unite to support Vested
Interest in K9s. and join in the holiday spirit.” For more information about
