In coordination with the pets deals page, Groupon Grassroots launches a
campaign with Vested Interest in K-9s, Inc., a non-profit fundraising
organization dedicated to providing bullet and stab protective vests for
law enforcement dogs across the nation. In 2012, Groupon Grassroots
worked with Vested Interest in K-9s, Inc. on both local and regional
campaigns that helped raise more than $60,000 to outfit law enforcement
K-9s with bullet and stab protective vests. Today's campaign will be
Groupon Grassroots' first national campaign with the organization. If
101 people donate $10, Vested Interest in K-9s, Inc. can fund a bullet
and stab protective vest for a police dog. More information is available
at http://www.groupon.com/k9.
