Creating Fine Works of Art for the Families
of Fallen Military and Law Enforcement K9 Heroes
The K9 Hero portraits needs sponsors! Without donations to cover the costs of creating these life-like tribute paintings, handlers cannot receive them and are delayed in getting their partners home again. This is no different than an organization that donates ballistic vests, heat alarms or first-aid kits to officers to protect their partners. The organization has to purchase the vest/kit first, and then it is donated
to the officers and department.
Please consider making a donation to help keep this program going and help bring home fallen heroes to their handlers and family.
The K9 Hero Portrait Project is a nationwide program that provides law enforcement and military handlers life-like paintings of their fallen K9 partners at no cost to them.
As a non-profit organization, The K9 Hero Portrait Project relies on your support. Businesses, community organizations and individuals like you are crucial to the continuation and success of this project. Every dollar counts and the tributes we produce for the handlers are not only beautiful, they help heal the wounds of losing their K9 partner. Please consider donating towards this project so that you can be a part of bringing back these K9 heroes for the men and women who protect our country.
"I used to be sad whenever I saw a picture of Fargo...I thought of "that day". Now, with this painting, I only smile and think of the good times we had together" - Master Deputy Warren Cavanagh
"They say a picture is worth a 1000 words well this painting is worth a million memories. Again. Thank you so so much." (R) Sgt. Brian Riddle
Our law enforcement K9s live and work with the handlers 24/7 and are as close to them as their family. Our military heroes leave their friends and families behind, and these dogs become their new best friend, confidant, therapist and their child. The bond between a handler and these K9's is unlike any other I've seen or witnessed. When one of these K9 heroes is killed in action or lost due to health or age, the handlers grieve for them just as they would for a child. For them, I create these portraits to immortalize their K9 partners.
I've been told by dozens of handlers, "You have no idea what this means to me."

Two of Mellick's sculptures can be seen on the left. MWD Gabe, MWD Ddoc, CWD Carlos, MWD Chef, MWD Jig and MWD Ryky 16" gallery wrapped canvases (the same we sell on Etsy), are on the wall.
