Kids Can Get Their Own Mini Stuffed Kermit To Help Support The Lower Moreland PD K9 Unit

LOWER MORELAND, PA — The community can now show its support for their local police department by purchasing an adorable, plush replica of 'Kermit,' the recently hired four-legged officer working with the department's new K9 unit.

The Lower Moreland Police Department is selling stuffed 'Kermit' toys that the little ones can enjoy.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of the Kermit stuffed animals will go toward the Lower Moreland Police Department K9 Unit.

Canine Units are often self-supported and may rely on outside funding to help with operating costs. Many times, the K9 dogs live with their handlers, but those that stay at a police department require housing and round-the-clock care, and costs can often creep up.

The Kermit stuffed toys currently up for sale come complete with a police collar, a LMPD K9 Unit patch, and a grey vest — "just like K9 Kermit!" the department stated in a Facebook post.

Each Kermit toy costs $20 and are available for purchase at the Lower Moreland Police Department headquarters on Red Lion Road.

Hours for pickup are Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., or Saturdays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Patch profiled Kermit soon after his hiring last summer.

The department recently posted to Facebook a photo of two young community members holding their recently acquired Kermit replicas so the community can see what the toys look like.
