On October 6th, the Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club presented a heat sensor unit and remote door release system to the Wicomico County Sheriff Office for their new K-9 vehicle. The unit will alert the K-9 officer if the vehicle's interior temperature goes above a pre-set level. It will automatically activate an S.O.S. horn, the siren and light bar. It also features a dual window drop and an integrated remote door system to release the K-9 for immediate assistance of the officer. The ACE K-9 Hot-N-Pop PRO, costs $1154, which was purchased through funds raised through the Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club Charitable Trust as the result of the raffle of a handmade quilt donated by club member and quilt maker, Jeannine Dennis.
The Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club Charitable Trust (SMKCCT) was founded in 2010. Working with the Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club (SMKC), the Trust is able through tax deductible donations by SMKC members, the public and friends of dogs and animals to provide the Tri-County area of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset funding and other support for such things as the following:
Stab-Ballistic Proof Safety Vests for K-9 police units
Small Animal Oxygen Masks for Fire Departments
Educational programs for school children, youth groups, such as 4-H, Scouts and the general public on safety around dogs, on responsible dog ownership, on training, on the humane care and treatment of all dogs and all animal life, as well as on enjoyable ways to interact with dogs.
