History

Originally formed in 2018, the Fauquier K-9 and Community Organization (FKCO) is an incorporated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Previously operating as separate entities, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Citizen’s Academy and the Fauquier K-9 and Community Organization merged operations in November 2019.

The FKCO shall have no members. The affairs of the FKCO shall be managed by a Board of Directors. The number of directors shall be no fewer than five (5) and no more than nine (9) at all times. Directors shall be elected by the directors in office and may appoint ex-officio board members.

The purpose of the FKCO is “to promote awareness and raise funds for the purchase, training, and veterinary care of active and retired law enforcement K-9s. Provide assistance, education, and support to Fauquier County first responders and their families.”

We recognize the unmet need of emotional, tangible, and monetary assistance for working dogs, law enforcement, firefighters, and medics who face injury, illness and traumatic events; on and off duty.

The Problem

Each day, working dogs, law enforcement, firefighters, and medics face injury, illness, and traumatic events; on and off duty. Unfortunately, there is only so much insurance companies and the departments they work for can do to help.

The Solution

Fauquier K-9 & Community, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 2018 by a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Deputy who saw this unmet need for emotional, tangible, and monetary assistance.

The Goal

Promote awareness and raise funds for the purchase, training, and veterinary care of active and retired law enforcement K-9s. Provide assistance, education, and support to Fauquier County first responders and their families.
