GREENE COUNTY — Greene County Sheriff’s Beavercreek Township Substation K-9 Maverick received a bullet and stab-proof vest last week.
The protective vest was thanks to a charitable donation from the non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vest was sponsored by a fundraiser by the Miami Valley Pit Crew Rescue.

The Miami Valley Pit crew have helped provide two protective vests for a local K9 to date.
“We are so incredibly proud to support our local law enforcement and the dogs whom they depend on to keep them, and the community, safe. As a rescue who strives to give back to the community, we are extremely proud of the 2 vests we have provided to date and look forward to providing more to come,” Miami Valley Pit Crew said in a Facebook post.
