Adopt a Kennel

 

The Vancouver Police Foundation is proud to partner with the Vancouver Police Department’s Canine Unit to offer a new “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 an annual gift of $1,000 you can symbolically adopt one of 20 VPD Canine kennels that houses a VPD canine hero.

  • Gifts are $1,000 and entitles you to your adopted kennel for a period of one year (12 months) from the date of your gift
  • The Foundation will provide you with special updates during the year
  • You will have the first right of refusal to renew your gift and re-adopt your stall at the time of renewal

Symbolically adopting a kennel in honour of 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.
