Name and sponsor an electronic detection K9 and help in the fight to save children

The cost to sponsor an electronic detection K9 is $24,000, and this can be accomplished through a one-time donation or contributions over a period of time. The K9 is trained to locate hidden electronic evidence and assist during law enforcement agency searches. The initial Handler Training course runs for two or more weeks. Defenders for Children will also take your K9 handler shopping at PetSmart for essential items to care for your donated K9. Defenders for Children will use this opportunity to educate and raise awareness about child abuse in the communities while fundraising for the placement of Electronic Detection K9s. We will also strive to connect the local community with law enforcement in a positive manner.

Defenders For Children will use a Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, or retriever mix. While we can't guarantee a specific gender, we do our best to accommodate requests. Our top priority is to ensure the perfect match between the handler and the K9s, as they will be working together for many years.

We will make every effort to place a K9 with your preferred law enforcement agency, county, or state. Some agencies and states may be more challenging due to reductions in law enforcement funding and the upper command’s priorities concerning women and children. We donate K9s to the Children's Crime Unit and Internet Crimes Against Children. While we will do our best to fulfill requests for K9 placements, we cannot guarantee that every request will be accommodated.
