Adopt a VPD Canine Kennel
Shopping for an animal lover who has everything? We have the solution! The Vancouver Police Foundation is proud to partner with the VPD Canine Unit to offer a new symbolic Adopt a Kennel program. For a minimum gift of $1,000, you or your family/friends can symbolically adopt a kennel that houses a VPD canine hero when they are not at home with their handler.
Each kennel adoption includes a customizable plaque that will be displayed on the door of your adopted kennel at the VPD Canine Headquarters for one year. The VPF will also provide you with special updates during the year as well as a charitable tax receipt. When your adoption year is up, you’ll have the first right of refusal to renew your gift and re-adopt your stall.
Not only is this gift is a wonderful way to honour your closest friends or family members, but it’s also a very special way to pay tribute to a loved one who may have passed. Symbolically adopting a kennel in memory of someone special is a unique way to recognize or remember a special person, a beloved pet, or a meaningful group in your life.
Like our other e-gifts, this program raises funds for the VPF and all our work to support VPD’s Canine Unit and fund officer-led initiatives making a difference in our community. Interested? Email Neil to discuss nmceachern@vancouverpolicefoundation.org
