K9 Bane Hero Foundation

Blue Line Gear With a Purpose

At Ears Up K9, our Blue Line gear was created to honor working K9s, their handlers, and the service they give to their communities. These dogs spend their lives protecting, serving, searching, tracking, and standing beside their partners — and they deserve support long after their working years are over.

A portion of proceeds from any Blue Line gear purchased through Ears Up K9 will be donated to the K9 Bane Hero Foundation.

About the K9 Bane Hero Foundation

The K9 Bane Hero Foundation began as a grassroots effort to help fund medical bills for retired K9 Bane, who was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) in 2022. The foundation is now a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping working K9 handlers financially and emotionally navigate healthcare and medical assistance for their aging partners.

When you purchase Blue Line gear from Ears Up K9, you are not only buying handmade dog gear — you are helping support a mission that gives back to retired and aging working K9s and the handlers who love them.

Thank you for supporting gear with a purpose.
