An app for supporters of working K9s, from Spike's K9 Fund. Includes a medical manual to aid K9 handlers, details about our upcoming events, and information on how to support our work. Spike's K9 Fund was founded by James Hatch, a retired Special Operator. James did multiple combat deployments as a handler and a shooter with working Dogs. The first K9 that he handled was "Spike" and he is our namesake. Spike, along with all the other K9s in our logo (represented by red stars) saved the lives of James and his teammates. After retiring from the service, James created Spike's K9 Fund to serve the gaps in public funding for the care and equipping of these incredible Dogs who protect our nation and its communities.
