Project Paws Alive was established in 2012 when our co-founders combined their federal and state law enforcement backgrounds to address a nationwide working K9 protection gap. Influenced by their time working with the FBI’s FTTTF (Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force) and State of Georgia Law Enforcement Agencies, they combined their love of dogs with first hand experience to create Project Paws Alive; a nationwide non-profit that provides protective equipment to Law Enforcement, Fire, Search & Rescue, and Military K9 Units throughout the United States. Our Mission to provide K9 bullet and stab protective vests and other vital K9 protective equipment to underfunded Law Enforcement, Fire, Search & Rescue, and Military K9 units nationwide.
