Help Retired K9 Hero Axel Get the Emergency Surgery He Desperately Needs

After years of loyal service, K9 Axel has earned his retirement—but now he needs our help.

Axel is a recently retired sheriff’s K9 who dedicated his life to protecting our community. From tracking down suspects to locating missing persons, Axel served with unmatched loyalty, courage, and heart. When it was time for him to retire, his longtime handler welcomed him home—giving him the peaceful life he fought so hard to earn.

But now, Axel is facing a medical emergency that threatens that well-earned peace. He’s been diagnosed with a serious condition that requires immediate surgery. Without it, his life is in danger.

Since Axel is now retired, all medical expenses fall on his handler, who is doing everything possible to help—but the cost is overwhelming. Emergency surgery, hospitalization, and recovery care are expected to cost $3,000

We’re reaching out to our community, friends, and fellow dog lovers for support.

Please consider donating to help save Axel’s life. Every dollar will go directly to covering his surgery and care. No amount is too small, and every share helps us get one step closer to giving this hero the second chance he deserves.

Axel spent his life protecting us—now it’s our turn to protect him.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
