Corporate Sponsors Needed for Texas-Based Non-Profit Universal K9's GoFundMe Fundraiser Campaign

SAN ANTONIO, January 31, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Universal K9, a groundbreaking police dog training organization based in Texas, has today announced an initiative that will be supported through a GoFundMe campaign. The campaign’s goals are simple – to adopt high-drive, high-energy dogs from shelters, train them and place them with police and sheriff departments across the U.S.

According to Brad Croft, founder and professional trainer at Universal K9, “Most people assume that it’s only purebred dogs that make good K9 officers – German shepherds and the like. However, the truth is that all types of dogs have the potential to learn to detect and track drugs and guns or to protect officers and citizens.”

Universal K9’s campaign goals are simple:

• Rescue dogs that would not be adopted from the threat of euthanasia
   
• Train those dogs to detect, track and protect
   
• Home those dogs with law enforcement departments across the U.S.
   
• End breed-specific legislation (BSL)

Croft points out that while the program has idealistic goals, they are also based in financial common sense. A purebred European-trained police dog usually costs a department between $15,000 and $20,000. Universal K9 adopts shelter dogs, trains them and places them with departments at no cost.

Universal K9 has seen significant success with their efforts. Currently, the company trains between 20 and 40 dogs per month, and there remains a lengthy waiting list of law enforcement departments. Since 2010, the organization has placed thousands of dogs with departments across the U.S., including pit bulls.

Today, Universal K9 seeks corporate sponsors to help the organization purchase new properties, renovate currently owned properties and get more dogs out of shelters, trained and serving American communities.
