K9 Aron – Deptford, New Jersey

Handler: Officer Adam Ziegler

Retired K-9 Aron of Deptford Twp. Police Department recently had to undergo an extensive surgery to at University of Pennsylvania Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital. The surgery related to two large masses found in his abdomen and went well. The PD has a plan that covered much of the cost and Deptford Twp. has agreed to help out with an additional $1,000.00 but Adam Ziegler and his wife are left with $3600.00 to pay out of pocket as Aron is retired and now is their responsiblity. The Deptford K-9 Association has set up a GO FUND ME ACCOUNT to help raise the funds to pay for Aron’s surgery. Below is the Link feel free to share it.
