Past and Current K9 officers,

The National Sheriff’s Association is collaborating with researchers/veterinarians at Colorado State University to help the veterinary field and the public better understand the unique aspects of the K9 partnership. To accomplish this, we are asking you to share your knowledge and experience by participating in a 5 minute anonymous survey

Results of this survey will be posted on the National Sheriff’s Association website as well as in the National Sheriff’s Association Newsletter in addition to other K9 related websites and publications. We also hope to publish the results in a veterinary medical journal to share results with practicing veterinarians.

If you complete the entire survey, you are eligible to enter the raffle for one NIJ .06 certified Armor Express vest through Vested Interest in K9s, Inc by clicking on the link at the end of they survey! The winner will be selected May 1, 2015.

Thank you,
John Thompson, Deputy Executive Director / Chief of Staff, National Sheriffs’ Association
and Mary Wright DVM, Lori Kogan, PhD, and Peter Hellyer, DVM
