K-9 Rex is a two-year-old black Labrador therapy dog. He and his fellow K-9's with their handlers go to local schools to primarily offer comfort to students with special needs. Many are in crisis and are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. All net profits go to the law enforcement K-9's through the 501(c)3 nonprofit, Back The Blue K-9 Force, to purchase K-9's and their protective gear as well as provide funding for their medical needs. Apprehension K-9's trained in narcotics, explosives, and electronics detection, are also funded by Back The Blue K-9 Force. Several of the K-9's will be at RexRun For PAWSitivity 2023!
