🐾 IT’S HERE!!! SHOW YOUR K-9 SUPPORT. 🐾

For those who love the Saint Paul Police Canine Unit, there’s now a new way to show it.

The St. Paul Police K-9 Foundation Online Store is officially OPEN!

Shop Foundation apparel, including our Minnesota State Fair gear, and get your 2027 St. Paul Police K-9 Unit Calendar featuring the K-9s and handlers who serve our community every day. 🐕‍🦺

And when you make a purchase, you’re doing more than getting some great K-9 gear.

You’re helping support the dogs who serve alongside our officers — providing funding for purchasing the dogs, equipment, training and more.

🛍️ SHOP THE ST. PAUL POLICE K-9 FOUNDATION STORE:

Wear the gear.
Support the mission.
Stand behind our K-9s. 🐾💙
