Police K-9 Magazine

The Weare Police K-9 Relief Fund has been launched to collect donations for an ailing police dog. K-9 Mica, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois who works patrol and narcotics for the Weare (NH) Police Department, recently was diagnosed with lymphoma. Mica requires approximately 19 weeks of chemotherapy at a cost of between $5,000 and $10,000, and the department is unable to pay for it. K-9 Mica has been partnered with Sergeant Joe Kelley for three years. In May 2009 she won seven awards in a K-9 competition in Falmouth, Maine, placing first in several categories. Donations to the Relief Fund for Mica can be made to any TD Bank branch in Weare, or contact the police department at (603) 529-7755.
