K9 Officers, Inc. is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that purchases, professionally trains, and donates police K9s, provides handler training, and supplies safety equipment to law enforcement agencies and school districts across the southern United States. The organization reports it received IRS recognition as a 501(c)(3) in 2013 (effective March 25, 2013) and operates as an all-volunteer board and support team; it reports placing nearly 90 K9s since inception and generally supports 4–8 placements per year.
