The mission

Their service deserves to be remembered.

K9 dogs have served to protect our freedom as far back as World War I, and their stories are extraordinary — yet rarely told. American K9 Heroes was created to honor our military war dogs, and with your donation, we can create a replica plush of these canine heroes.

Since World War I

A century of service

From the trenches of WWI to modern counter-terrorism operations, military and police K9s have trained, served, and retired alongside their handlers — heroics that deserve a lasting record.

Made in the USA

Museum-quality tributes

Founded by toy industry veterans with 30+ years of combined experience, we design professionally packaged, 6-inch plush replicas honoring individual K9 heroes by name.

Giving back

Proceeds support retirement care

A portion of every sale goes directly to organizations that support K9 heroes after their service ends — because their care shouldn't end when the mission does.
