Skagit County K9 Heroes Fund - Muddy Paws! Fun Run/Walk 2.1 mi, 5k, 10k

Skagit County K9 Heroes Fund, 501c(3) nonprofit

Our mission is to help support Skagit County K9 Units.

K9's identify and find people who need their help, deter crime, protect their officers, and improve safety as well as increase the quality of life for everyone living, doing business, and visiting our beautiful county.

We are currently fundraising to help the Mount Vernon Police Department reinstate their K9 Unit. Their previous K9 Super Hero - Vektor - retired a few years ago. Since then, we have seen an increase in both drug-related criminal activities and fatal overdoses. K9's sniff out drugs and significantly reduce access to these dangerous substances.

Since our May 2025 inception, SCK9HFund has raised $11,450 of the $20,000 needed to complete our first mission.

Join us in making a significant contribution here in Skagit County. Together, we can save lives!
