About Us
Our Mission
K9 KAOS AZ is a non profit 501(c)3 Organization named in honor of K9 KAOS, who has now retired and since passed.
We have chosen to continue his legacy by offering K9 Assistance & Officer Support(KAOS) through our charity organization, by helping fund K-9 units with special training equipment & structural wishes to ensure the dogs are trained effectively for the jobs they encounter.
But Who Is K9 KAOS?
KAOS, was a Belgian Malinois, who came to Arizona from Holland in 2008, where he served the Glendale AZ Police Department. KAOS assisted with Building Searches, Area Searches, Narcotics Detection and Suspect Apprehensions. KAOS retired from duty, to his partner, K-9 Officer Gabe Vasquez in 2015, where he spent his time until passing in January 2020.
Meet the staff
Gina Lawrence
Board Position: CEO/President
Hometown: Rohnert Park, CA
Occupation: Business Owner/Manager
Gina spent most of her life in northern California while growing up in a military/LEO family. In 2015, she decided to move to Arizona with her husband and children where they began their own business in auto repair and restoration. As Gina tried to find her niche in a new state, her direction became clear during the pandemic. She joined forces with some LEO support groups at a time they were needed most. After many people approached her in the law-enforcement world, asking to help with fundraising events for their K9 units, she came to the realization that this is where the help was needed. Gina then went ahead and started the nonprofit, K-9 Kaos AZ, in order to help fund K9 programs in the state of Arizona. Along the way she has had a lot of support and gained a lot of friends that she now calls family. Gina will continue to work diligently along with her board and support system at funding as many K9 programs in AZ as possible.
