HKC Gives Back

Proceeds from our shows, programs, and events help support a variety of canine-related charities. [read more about the charities we support]

During these difficult economic times, the Harrisburg Kennel Club is honored to be able to support our community with a $4,800 donation to the Harrisburg Police Department’s K-9 Unit to defray the cost of feeding their police dogs through December 2013.  Pictured is the presentation to the Department at the HKC's August 14, 2011 show.

When the K-9 unit's star canine, Zeus, became ill, the Harrisburg Kennel Club voted to purchase a new crime-fighting canine for the Harrisburg Police Department. Shortly thereafter, Zeke, a 13-month-old Belgian Malinois joined the K-9 unit. Our commitment to our community earned us "Hometown Hero" recognition from WHTM (Channel 27). When we learned that one of the officers is planning to retire, the Harrisburg Kennel Club stepped up again and offered to be the guarantor of a new Harrisburg City police dog.

We have committed to feeding the K-9 unit through the end of 2013. Through an agreement with Purina, we have been able to buy a quality food at a discount that provides the high level of protein that working dogs like those in the K-9 unit need. To help keep the costs of the food down, we are participating in the Purina Breeder Program. You can show your support for the K-9 unit by donating the weight circles from any Purina products you purchase - please contact Sally Kamm at HKC_K-9@hkc.org for information on how to donate -- or use the DONATE button on the bottom of this page.


 

 

 

 

In addition to hosting two of the largest conformation dog shows in the country, the Harrisburg Kennel Club is active in the community. Upcoming events are listed below. And be sure to check our photo gallery to see some of the other fun events we’ve attended.

"Hero"

Following the tragedies of 9/11, the AKC established The American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery Canine Support and Relief Fund to commemorate the tireless heroism of the many Search and Rescue teams.  The AKC/CAR Canine Support and Relief Fund is a charitable fund to support professional and volunteer canine search and rescue organizations throughout the United States.

HKC's support of the DOGNY project through the purchase of "Hero" is an expansion on its commitment to support the work of Dog-Assisted Search and Rescue.
