Jonesborough Paws in Blue Fundraiser

Jonesborough Paws in Blue, Inc. is a 501©3 organization formed in the fall of 2017 to support the Jonesborough Department of Public Safety’s K-9 Program. At the time of organization, Jonesborough had one K-9 with a real need for four so there could be a trained dog on duty with every shift of officers. Since organization, the goal of four K-9’s has been reached as a result of the generous people of Jonesborough. Jonesborough Paws in Blue, Inc. continues to raise funds to support the K-9 program to purchase food for the dogs, supplements that are required, needed equipment and training, pay vet bills and recertification of the K-9’s and their handlers. Our “senior” K-9 is Loki and he is 10 years old, the normal age of retirement of police dogs. As a result, we are also raising funds to replace Loki when he retires. The addition of another police dog, including training of the dog and handler, costs $15,000-$18,000. 100% of the funds we raise go to support the dogs and replacement of dogs as needed.
