Help K9 AJ Beat the Heat!

K9 AJ is a “loving” 2.5-year-old Belgian Malinois certified in Patrol, Tracking/Trailing, and Narcotics. He is assigned to Officer Ryan Prince of the Springfield, VT Police Department. He loves to play, chase his ball, and have fun with his family. Within his first week on the job, his track of a suspect resulted in a find and arrest and he continues to excel! 

Here’s how you can help!

K9 AJ is in need of a door pop/heat alarm system; and, here’s how this equipment both helps AJ and Officer Prince on the job!

1. A door pop allows the K9 handler officer to remotely unlatch the door so their K9 may exit the squad car and come to their aid, should a call for service take a turn for the more dangerous.
2. A heat alarm system monitors the interior air temperature of the squad car and sets off the sirens, lights, alarms, and rolls down the windows of the car to help ensure that a K9 doesn’t suffer from heat trauma if the temperature rises into a dangerous threshold.

Please help the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce sponsor this equipment for K9 AJ by making a tax-deductible donation to Hero K9 today. Donations can also be dropped off at the Chamber’s office at 56 Main St, Ste. 2
Springfield, VT 05156.
