Together Saving Paws was founded with one simple but powerful mission: to protect the brave K9s who serve alongside law enforcement officers every day. Founded by Kim Slaughter, whose lifelong compassion for animals is matched by her deep respect for those who serve and protect our communities, the organization fills a critical gap in K9 safety.

Police K9s are more than partners—they are highly trained heroes who face dangerous situations head-on. Yet, many departments across the country do not have the budget to provide them with essential protective gear. That’s where Together Saving Paws steps in.

We work to purchase custom-fit, life-saving ballistic vests for law enforcement K9s nationwide. Each vest is specifically made to fit the individual dog, providing the highest level of protection while allowing them to perform their duties effectively. At a cost of $1,250 per vest, this vital equipment is often out of reach for departments that need it most.

Together Saving Paws relies on the generosity of donors and supporters who believe, as we do, that every K9 deserves protection. Through donations, fundraising, and community support, we are able to provide these vests and help ensure that these loyal heroes have the protection they need in the line of duty.

Because when we protect them, they can continue to protect us.

We are looking for volunteers nationwide who have a heart and desire to help animals. We are in need of volunteers to make calls to other non profits, rescues, foster programs, veterinarian offices and police departments. Help with fundraising events in your local area. Help with social media posts, stories event postings etc. Help the CEO with ideas, brainstorming and event planning.
