Adopt a Kennel

The Vancouver Police Foundation is proud to partner with the Vancouver Police Department’s Canine Unit to offer an “Adopt a Kennel” program. This program raises funds for the Vancouver Police Foundation and all our work to support VPD’s Canine unit as well officer-led initiatives that make Vancouver safer for everyone. These programs support those most vulnerable, and now, with your adoption of a kennel, you can too!

For a minimum annual gift of $1,000 you can symbolically adopt one of 20 VPD Canine kennels that houses a VPD canine hero.
