Project K-9 Hero is a nonprofit organization in the law-enforcement space, based in Detroit, Michigan, focused on supporting retired Police K-9s and Military Working Dogs. It provides assistance with medical costs, prescribed nutrition, rehabilitation, rehoming, and end-of-duty services to ensure a dignified post-service life for these animals. The group aims to honor their service and to educate the public and officials about the ongoing responsibilities and costs of caring for retired K-9s, with a view to shaping a broader, respectful perception. A 177-acre Rehabilitation and Rehoming Facility serves as a safe haven for retired K-9s without homes or capable owners. In 2023, it announced a partnership with Old Guard Pet Company to support its mission.
