Handlers,
You're welcome to complete this form at your earliest convenience to begin the approval process for your K9 before any assistance is needed.
Please note that, in accordance with our bylaws, we are unable to reimburse any expenses that have already been paid, including veterinary bills, food, or other related costs. All payments must be made directly by our organization.
To be eligible for assistance, documentation verifying the K9’s dates of service is required. This must be uploaded under the “Proof of K9's Service” section below and should clearly state the service period (e.g., August 2018 – June 2023).
Important Eligibility Note:
To be eligible for retirement assistance, the K9 must have been owned by a casino or resort during their active years of service. K9s that were personally owned or supplied by third-party contractors do not qualify at this time.
Additional eligibility criteria may apply. If further information is needed to assess your K9’s eligibility, we will contact you via email and provide a full copy of our eligibility guidelines.
While we strive to support every approved K9, please understand that assistance is subject to available funding and current organizational commitments.
