Bringing our community together
Our Dogs
Each K9 has a minimum training requirement of 4 hours per week. Our fund provides much needed resources to offset budget deficiencies to support training needs and daily operations.
Our Sponsors
Without our sponsors we could not provide the needed funds support these K9s. Every member of our Board is 100% volunteer. All of our funds go directly to the K9s. Please consider a tax deductible donation to support our cause. Click here to support our fantastic sponsors.

Our Cause
- Every year, K9 Unit budgets are submitted to their departments. Most of these budgets get approved for the funding they need to keep these units strong and operational, however, approved budgeted funding, in many cases, is categorized as "General Allocation".
- When a dog gets injured or needs to be replaced, or when equipment fails, there simply isn't enough money in these budgets to offset the emergency costs.
- An appeal to get emergency funding by a department can take months, and there is no guarantee that the funding is even available.
- When a K9 needs an emergency surgical procedure, a heat alarm sensor fails, more security is needed in a govt. building, or more units are needed to handle the current narcotics crisis, funding is needed immediately.
- Chesapeake K9 Fund has a policy in place that mandates any item or K9 donated to a department is purchased from the Chesapeake K9 Fund and then that item or K9 is placed into the hands of the requesting department.
