What We Do

K-9 Units

As another resource, when called upon, we provide any necessary equipment that helps assist the K-9s, such as bite sleeves, leads, training muzzles, protective vests, first aid and trauma kits, crates, or any other needs.

Training Activities

Training is vital to the preparedness of being a K-9 Officer, and training is a daily commitment. We will be there to assist in sponsoring existing training events and looking to host training events in the future.

Sponsor Fundraising Events

Our mission will succeed through continual support from the community and hosting fundraising activities. For The Paws will be sponsoring and attending various fundraising activities to assist the K-9s when needed.

Retired K-9s

Retired K-9s have many needs, such as care and veterinarian services. Our long-term goal is to assist these K-9 Officers to live a long and happy life at home after they have served and protected their community.

Why It Matters

K-9 units enhance community safety by deterring crime, tracking suspects, aiding in rescues, and detecting illegal substances.

Donations provide essential resources, training, and care for active and retired police dogs, ensuring their continued effectiveness.

Supporting K-9 units is an investment in safety and a way to honor their invaluable service.

Our Story
My name is Evette Szajna, and my husband, Mark Carr, grew up in Warren, MI. We currently reside in Clinton Township, MI. I have owned a business in Mt. Clemens for over 23 years and worked for local police departments as a matron and dispatcher.  I was also a cadet at a local college and have had many family members who were in law enforcement.

My husband has worked for Ford Motor Company for over 25 years and is currently a toolmaker.  He also has had family members in law enforcement.

We have donated and sponsored other K9 Units in Georgia, Florida, and other states over the past 5 years and saw their success. We were inspired to create an organization in our community to be an additional resource to help cover the cost of equipment, training, or other needs.

We aim to build an organization to assist as many K-9 units starting with Macomb County and reaching beyond when called upon.
