Our Official Nonprofit Partner: For The Paws

EMATS is proud to partner with For The Paws

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting police K-9 units with the equipment, training resources, and long-term care they need to operate at the highest level.

This partnership ensures that every event, every sponsor, and every dollar contributes to a mission that directly impacts real officers and working K-9 teams in the field.

Why This Matters

Police K-9 units are one of the most effective tools in modern law enforcement—but they are often underfunded.

Many departments:

Lack budget for advanced training tools
Operate with outdated or limited equipment
Rely on handlers to cover costs personally

That’s where For The Paws steps in.

They provide the support that keeps K-9 teams mission-ready.
