After years of serving his country and community, retired explosive detection K9 Tambo is now in the fight of his life — and thanks to the help of a national nonprofit and supporters across the country, he’s not fighting alone. 

 Tambo spent his career working alongside Federal Police Officer Chris Bingham, protecting lives by detecting explosives, responding to calls for service, and working long hours under dangerous conditions. But even heroes wear down. 

After tearing a ligament in his leg, Tambo was forced into early retirement — and then came a devastating diagnosis: hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive and often fatal cancer. 

 “He had a bunch of masses on his spleen,” said Bingham. “If one of them burst, the abdomen will be filled with blood.” 

 Without immediate surgery and chemotherapy, Tambo’s time would be cut short. That’s when Project K9 Hero stepped in.
