Law enforcement K-9 gets boost with donations
By JERRY FINK MANAGING EDITOR,

The Eufaula Community and generous customers of Lake Dog raised $9,276.11 to support the K-9 Units for Mc-Intosh County and Eufaula PD, Lake Dog owners John and Shari Wilkins announced last week.

“Officers have limited funds so we raised money to help pay for their veterinarian bills, food, tactical gear and other needs,” Shari Wilkins said.

In addition, Lake Dog coordinated events for the Eufaula Police Department to raise funds for a K-9 Unit. The goal is $20,000 to purchase qualified dogs and provide the training for their Handlers.

Chief of Police (Eufaula Police Department) David Bryning announced that $17,156.15 has been raised for the Eufaula PD K9 Unit.

“We have one more K9 fundraising event by Hard Cash Pawn on November 3rd (selling smoked pulled pork meals for $8, delivered by the Eufaula PD),” Shari said. “This has allowed the Chief to move forward with two k9 Officers and dogs.

The City of Eufaula will have Officer Paul Brown with his dog, Kilo and Officer Jordan Pryor with his dog, Niko.

“They will begin Handler training January 2nd. They will be fully certified K9 handlers and should be up and going by the end of January,” Shari said.

John Wilkins noted that this is the third year of their annual drive to support K-9 officers.

“We’re getting better each year,” he said. “Each year the numbers are getting better.”

Many community members, visitors and local businesses played a huge role in making this happen.
