In the wake of K-9 death, tram to raise money for new police dog facility

Sandia Peak Tram partnered with the city and Albuquerque Police Department to raise money for a K-9 training facility dedicated to Rebel, a police dog shot and killed by officers during an armed confrontation with a suspect last week.

Starting Monday, the tram will donate $1 from each ticket sold to APD's K-9 Unit, Sandia Peak Tramway President Ben Abruzzo announced at a Friday news conference. The "Rides for Rebel" fundraiser will end June 29.
