Donate To Arizona Police K9 Memorial
From everyone involved with the Arizona Police K-9 Memorial, we would like to thank all of you who have graciously donated and helped in making this memorial a reality. Without your support the Arizona Police K-9 Memorial would never have been possible. We would like you to know that not a single penny of donations was or will be used for administrative salaries. The K-9 Memorial committee is made up of volunteers, so with no staff to pay, all of the donations are used for the K-9 Memorial. Our work is not over though. Now that the K-9 Memorial has been built, we still need to raise funds in order to defray the costs for cleaning of the Memorial several times a year and for the costs of adding names of Fallen K-9's each year who are lost in the line of duty.
In addition, the memorial received significant damage during the riots of 2020 that have not been repaired yet.
Any donation you can make no matter how large or small is greatly appreciated in the restoration and
maintenance of the memorial.
As donations dedicated to the memorial will help keep the memory of these K-9’s alive for years to come.
