The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports the Sheriff’s Office K9 “Urs” will receive a bullet and stab preventative vest, thanks to a charitable donation from the non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.  Urs’ vest will be embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring those who served and sacrificed.”

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501c(3) non-profit whose mission is to provide bullet and stab-protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the country. Since 2009, the organization has  donated more than 4,381 K9 vests with a value of $6.9-million, in all 50 states. The vests are made possible by both private and corporate donations.
