Q. What is the process for determining who your organization will aid?
A. The K-9 handler contacts us and tells us what the problem is. The board members then meet to discuss how much money to give, is this procedure going to give the dog a good quality life, would it be able to work after the procedure or would the dog be retired?

Q. What is the derivation of the name “Bobbie Project”?
A. The name came about from a Bloodhound that worked for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department. Bobbie was diagnosed with Lymphoma but continued to work through her chemotherapy treatments for 1.5yrs. 4 days before Bobbie died she did a track to find a elderly gentleman with alzhiemers disease who had wandered off. It was approximately 2 months after she died that we learned that due to the huge expense of her treatment the policy was sent down that no other dog on the department would be able to have an expensive procedure done if needed. Hence Bobbie inspired us to make a difference. No highly trained K-9 should ever be denied medical treatment due to lack of funds.
