The Flathead K9 Foundation Supports Flathead County Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue K9s. The cost to purchase, train, and maintain a Search and Rescue canine can reach $10-15,000. The associated costs for a Law Enforcement canine are often significantly higher. The Foundation is committed to relieving the financial burden associated with our Flathead County canine resources, helping our teams stay highly trained and equipped with whatever they need to get the job done safely and effectively when the call comes.
