Grant to cover K-9's insurances costs
August 12, 2020By Herald Staff
JASPER — Jasper Police Department’s K-9 Mack has been awarded a "Healthcare for K9 Heroes" grant to help cover annual medical insurance policy premium costs.
The funding comes from Vested Interest in K9s Inc. — a nationwide nonprofit located in East Taunton, Massachusetts, whose mission is to provide bullet- and stab-protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. Since 2016, the charity has donated more than $125,000 toward medical reimbursement programs for self-funded K9 units. Mack was selected as one of 21 recipients of the award this year.
