ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. – Sweetwater County Sheriff’s office K9 “Huk” will receive a bulletproof and stab protective vest, thanks to a charitable donation from a non-profit organization.

Since its creation, the company has provided over 2,700 protective vests, in 50 states, through private and cooperate donations.

The cost of each vest is $950. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call (508) 824-6978.
