Saving Lives that Save Lives

Spike's K9 Fund

James Hatch

WASHINGTON, DC, USA, May 7, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Special Warfare Operator James Hatch’s life has been spared by K9 on several occasions during battle. He started www.spikesk9fund.org for working K9’s and their partners.

While on the hunt for Bowe Bergdahl, Special Warfare Operator James Hatch was critically wounded and taken away from action. As he watched from the sideline, his life-changing moment happened. It was moment that not only affected him, but also the K9 Law Enforcement agencies in communities across the US.

Since the fateful night he was wounded and saved by a K9 that gave his life for his, James Hatch has committed to the working K9’s across the county. James is a voice for K9’s, who as powerful as they are, cannot advocate for themselves. James founded and runs www.spikesk9fund.org and works with law enforcement and other agencies to ensure they have what the need to get the job done.

His experience as a K9 handler and leader during three tours of Iraq has given James a unique perspective on the work K9’s do and what they need to succeed. Equipment, training, medical procedures, and care for dogs who cannot be re-homed is the main goal of spikesk9fund.org. “We’ve had similar experiences and they’re just like me,” James says about the K9 community, and is committed to his long-term goal of building a kennel that offers the best available care for K9’s. There are communities whose budgets don’t support K9 care and we want to “take away the disadvantage and level the playing field.”

With his “masters degree in cussing,” James is the kind of guy you’d love to sit and have a beer with; his stories come from the experience and heart, and his only agenda is helping the K9’s and fellow officers.
