Max, an Oro Valley police service dog, joined the K-9 unit in 2013.

An Oro Valley kennel club is donating $10,000 to the police department this weekend, to go towards the purchase of a new service dog.

The Caรฑada Del Oro Kennel Club will be presenting the Oro Valley Police Department with the check at 1 p.m. Sunday, during the AKC Dog Show at Rillito Racetrack Park.

โ€œThe generous donation from the CDO Kennel Club shows their support, love and kindness for our four-legged police officers," said Oro Valley Police Chief Daniel Sharp. "I am honored to serve this great community and thankful for the relationship we have with the CDO Kennel Club.โ€

In September, Oro Valley police K-9 "Lara" passed away after being treated for an undisclosed illness.
