K9 collector cards

Custom K9 card designs are created for the requesting handler, agency or unit to print and use for their K9 outreach. Photos and information you supply must be yours to share, and you are responsible for having permission to use any agency name, logo or patch included in your design. Cards may be shown as examples on this site only with the handler’s permission.

You allow us to display them on this site and our social media pages. We may choose not to publish any submission, and we will remove a submission on request.
