DONATIONS ARE DECREASING

The problem? Donations have decreased this year. Hart says it's something that's never happened in the 5+ years she's been in operation.
She says understands that everything has increased in price and she says law enforcement K9 departments aren't any different. "I have donors that have been with us from the jump that I always knew I could count on them IF I really needed them. Well, that's not been the case with some of them."

K9 OFFICERS NEED SUPPORT

The K9's are a vital part of the Yakima County Sheriff's Office and the Yakima Police Department. Money from the fundraiser goes to K9 Foundation Yakima Valley that was started in February of 2021 to support Yakima County law enforcement agencies K-9 programs. The founder of the K9 Foundation Yakima Valley, Fern Hart says she started the foundation after learning that unlike many other law enforcement agencies around the country, Yakima County depends upon private donations to fund local K9 programs.
