In regards to naming the K9 that will arrive in 5 days we decided to get the young kids involved. The challenge was as follows; whichever classroom, grades 2-6 that could raise the most quarters/box tops in 7 days would have the final say in naming the K9. The results are in and the winner is Mrs. Edwards 6th grade class. The students were personally notified and congratulated today and were all smiles. Stay tuned........the final voting will take place on Monday the 16th.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 34 Days ago we were given the go ahead to start raising funds for a K9 Program. Our original goal to get this program up and going was $80,000-$100,000. I knew this was going to be a huge challenge. I spoke to some friends and they introduced me to some of their friends and so forth and the ball started rolling. About 13 days ago we had some businesses that wanted to create a matching challenge in the amount of $50,600. Well, as of yesterday, 4/09/2018 the residents of Fairbury, Forrest and surrounding areas of Southeast Livingston County and beyond our county stepped up and made their voices heard by their actions and matched that challenge. I'm just amazed from the positive response and support that we've received in regards to this program. Donations are still coming in, and that's ok. Remember, we want to keep this Fund at a level to where we can keep this K9 Program operating for many generations. The dog will be here on the 17th, so stay tuned for updates. Thanks again for all the support!

2 Week update on starting Police K9 Program As our previous post stated 2 weeks ago we have been given the green light to start accepting donations to start our very own Police K9 Program. To start a police K9 program it can cost up to $80-$100,000 and that was our original goal. Well as of today we have raised $26,465. We have also been donated services. Until the dog retires it will receive all grooming at no cost to us. Thank you The Paws Zone. That's a savings of about $700 a year. It will also receive all basic vet services at no cost until he retires. Thank you Fairbury Veterinary Hospital. That's a savings of about $1000 per year. We have received such amazing support from the community and surrounding area. In attempts to save money we located a like new (2017 with 8,000 miles) Ford Explorer Interceptor from another state. We have secured it and it's on the way to Fairbury as we speak. It still needs to be equipped with equipment such as a dog kennel with safety features, camera, computer (refurbished), radio, siren, radar, red and blue lights on the inside and outside, etc....... We also still need to raise money for the K9 itself along with his special leashes, bowls, concrete pad, kennel, dog house, canopy to be protected from the elements, etc........ We are doing great and have come a long way but we have a ways to go, but I'm more than confident with your help we can get there. All donations are tax deductible. If you would like to donate please make checks payable to: "Prairie Lands Foundation" and in the memo section of the check note "Fairbury PD K9 Fund". You can drop off checks at the PD or mail them to: Fairbury Police Department 201 W Locust St Fairbury, IL. 61739 Once again, thank you so much for your support and please donate and share this post so that it reaches thousands and thousands of people.
