Lettsew K9 Foundation Presented $55,000 in Closing Gifts

A previous article in The Whitewater Banner indicated that Lettsew K9 Foundation is dissolving after five years of fundraising for Jefferson County K9s and the surrounding area. Lettsew K9 is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. LETTSEWK9
FOUNDATION stands for Law Enforcement Training Teams of Southeastern Wisconsin.

LETTSEWK9 shared the following story and photos from their Facebook page.

“Yesterday was a very bittersweet day…..

“The mission of Lettsew is to support canines in law enforcement and educate the communities they serve and protect.”

Our local K9s are trained to assist in

—explosive detection

—narcotic detection

—suspect apprehension

—searching for suspects and missing persons

—crowd control and building searches.

These small K-9 units have always been “FOR the community, BY the community, which means they are not taxpayer funded.

Through Lettsew’s hard work and dedication we were able to present each K9 and handler with a check in the amount of $5,550, totaling $55,500!!!!! This achievement is something that we, as a very small nonprofit, are extremely proud of. It has been an honor to provide funds to these units for various expenses, including individual and group trainings, vet bills, emergency services, dental bills, training drugs, dog food, protective vests, leashes, reward toys, treats, etc.

We are truly blessed to have these dedicated teams in our communities. Thank you for all that you do to keep us safe.”
