COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — The Coweta County Sheriff's Office is raising money after a K-9 officer was shot in the line of duty several months back.
The fundraiser will pay for the medical expenses of K-9 Kilo. The K-9 officer was shot back in August, and thankfully has since made a full recovery and is back on duty.
A social media post by the sheriff's office said: "In honor of our hero, we have made CCSO K-9 Challenge Coins. The supply of these coins are limited. They are available for purchase and all proceeds go towards Kilo’s medical expenses."
On sale for $25 each, the coins will be available for pickup at the sheriff's office at 560 Greison Trail in Newnan within two days of purchase, or shipping can be handled for an additional $5.
"Thank you for your continued support," the sheriff's office post said.
