The  Alexandria Kennel Club, using some of the proceeds  from our annual  show held in Alexandria in January, 2017, decided to  give back to our  community. We decided to purchase Pet Oxygen Mask to  donate to some of  the fire stations in our area. We purchased 12 in  2017, and decided to  start giving them out to select fire stations.  Julie Taylor and Chiara  Crawford, two of club members, are leading the  effort to distribute  these locally. Each year after our show, we will  determine if we made a  profit, and decide if, and how many Pet Oxygen  Mask we can afford to  donate. Our goal is to have each fire station in  the surrounding area  with at least one Pet Oxygen Mask.

The   Pet Oxygen Mask kit each has 3 masks, one for a large dog, one for a   medium sized dog, and one for a small dog or cat. These can be attached   to an oxygen tank that is current used to resuscitate humans,   therefore supplying oxygen to pets who are in need. The fire stations   who have received them so far are excited about receiving them. Below   are some of the firemen/stations that have received them.
