Dear Dogtown Friends and Family:

First of all, we would like to thank you all for contributing to Dogtown's first year in business! 2007 was an amazing year for us for one reason, we met dozens of responsible and friendly dog owners and got to play with their awesome dogs!! We hope to continue to watch over and entertain your pups in 2008 whether it's everyday of the week or just a few days out of the year.

Second, I would like to announce the K9 Vests for Life Golf Scramble. We, along with 3 other local pet businesses, are on a mission to raise money to purchase 9 bullet and stab proof canine vests for the Fayette County Police Department K-9 Unit. We feel that these dogs are a very important part of our community, and we should protect them just as they protect us! Please check out the letter below with all the details and ask your employers, friends, and relatives to help out! Attached is the form for anyone willing to sponsor, donate, or register for the event.

Thanks so much for you support!

TK, Chris, Stephanie, Erin, Rebecca, and Rod

K-9 Vests for Life Charity Event

Sponsored by: Dogtown LLC, Critter Sitters of Lexington, Inc., For The Love of Dogs Bakery, What's The Scoop LLC


On April 29, 2008, we will join hundreds of others to help end the misfortune facing Fayette County's K-9 unit with the K-9 Vests for Life Golf Scramble Charity Event. The Fayette County K-9 unit consists of 9 narcotics and patrol canines, and only one has a bullet and stab-proof vest. It is imperative to the dogs, our police officers, and our citizens that each of the 9 canines has a vest. Each vest costs over $1,000.00, and by making a contribution you are helping to protect our community and the life of a canine who risks his life daily for our safety.

Fayette County Canines are trained to track not only criminals but missing elderly individuals and lost children. They can search for articles used in crimes and for criminals that pose a threat to police officers or other persons if not immediately stopped. In criminal apprehension the canines are trained to bite and hold the suspect until they can be taken into custody.

Our ultimate goal is to raise at least $8,000.00 this year, which will furnish each of the Fayette County canines with a bullet and stab-proof vest. If you wish to donate, you may mail all or part of your payment amount today to P.O. Box 34141, Lexington KY, 40588-4141. Please make your check payable to K-9 Vests for Life.

See below for the many ways you can help. We have attached a donation form for those who would like to make a contribution or play in the scramble. If you have any questions, please contact us at 859-252-DOGS.
