Fruitland Police Department K-9 Very Close Financially To Becoming A Reality

After raising $6,000.00 at last summers Crab Fiest, the Fruitland Police Department has been networking  with other fundraisers to try and reach their final goal to make having their own K-9 a reality.

The Delmar Police Department was kind and generous enough to donate a K-9 vehicle complete with  everything they'd normally have to purchase. Their only major investment into the vehicle was a transmission.

However, there are many additional expenses like a concrete pad, a kennel and so forth. The total after purchasing the dog is close to $20,000.00. Get this, when I spoke with Chief Phillips they were only $4,000.00 away from their goal.

Once we learned they were so close, Salisbury News committed  to donating $2,000.00 leaving only a $2,000.00 balance. Would YOU like to match our advertisers donation to make this a reality today? If so, contact the FPD at 410-548-2803.

To 12:15 and all other commenters on all of SBYNews postings. Why don't you spell the names out. If they are so offensive should you not name them when commenting?

There was a fundraiser at Winterplace park last weekend to buy a bulletproof vest for the Fruitland K9 unit. Not sure how it turned out...

3:12 Joe posted pics from that event yesterday.

2:28 I'm one of those who also prefers to use their initials. Why should I waste a single moment spelling out the names of such vile people?

The walk for Salisbury Md Kennel Club was a great success. We raised enough funds to vest the police dog for Fruitland. That alone is about $1000.00! Plus we raised enough money to purchase I believe about 12-15 small animal oxygen masks for the local fire departments.
