A Guardian When It Matters Most
Protection, Security, and a Path Forward
K9 Guardian Foundation provides expertly trained protection dogs to survivors of domestic violence, ensuring they have the safety and support they need—at no cost to them.
With a team of expert trainers and security professionals with decades of experience, we ensure that protection isn’t just for those who can afford it—it’s for those who need it most.
For Survivors: Safety You Can Count On
When every moment feels uncertain, a Guardian K9 gives you more than protection—it gives you time, space, and the ability to regain control.
Our specially trained protection dogs provide:
🔹 A physical barrier against threats, offering immediate safety.
🔹 Security without escalation—a protector, not a weapon.
🔹 Lifelong companionship with a dog trained to stand by your side.
The added advantage of:
✔️ Trained for real-world protection
✔️ Provides time and space from danger so you can act
✔️ Ready to stand by your side
For Those Who Support Survivors: A Critical Resource
Attorneys, shelters, and advocacy organizations work tirelessly to help survivors escape dangerous situations—but long-term security is often still a concern.
That’s where we come in. K9 Guardian Foundation partners with support networks to provide trained protection dogs at no cost to those in need.
✔️ Work with us to place Guardian K9s with survivors in high-risk situations
✔️ Help fund training & placement to ensure more survivors have access
✔️ Join a growing movement to provide security beyond shelters
A Guardian That Changed Everything
Hear from those who have found safety, peace, and empowerment through a Guardian K9.
Survivor
— For the first time in years, I feel safe.
I lived in fear every single day. Even after leaving, I never felt truly free—I was always looking over my shoulder. My Guardian K9 changed that. He is my constant protector, my safe space, and my reminder that I don’t have to live in fear anymore.
Domestic Violence Advocate
— This program is life-changing for survivors.
As an advocate, I’ve seen the ongoing fear survivors live with—even after they leave. These dogs don’t just offer security; they offer peace of mind, confidence, and independence. This is one of the most impactful resources I’ve seen in my years of working with survivors.
