Snellville woman started charity for police dogs

Local charity raises money for police dogs
Gwinnettdailypost.com
Just more than a decade ago, Snellville resident Kathy Gestar found a need that had to be filled — and she did so with the Cody Fund. ...

.....in honor of her now-passed Sheltie named Cody, Gestar began her fund. To date, it has contributed three dogs — two to the Gwinnett County Police Department, one to Snellville PD — countless hours of training and bulletproof vests.

.....“We had started the program but we were able to expand it even further with the generous gift from the Cody Fund,” Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said. “It assisted with us everything. The dog’s now on the street and he’s doing a great job.”
To donate, interested parties can go to www.cfneg.org.
