Meet Bear

Bear is bold, beautiful, and already walking like he owns the place. With a proud strut and a head held high, he’s got the look—and the attitude—of a future hero. While his siblings are still tumbling around the play yard, Bear’s eyes are on the older dogs, eager to run with the big leagues. He’s always the first to notice when someone enters the yard, letting out a deep, hearty bark that demands attention. Rugged and handsome, Bear carries himself like he knows he’s destined for greatness—and we believe he is. With your sponsorship, Bear’s confidence and drive will take him far in the world of search and rescue.

Meet Lucille

Lucille is a sweetheart with a sniffer that shows real promise. Her nose is already leading her in the right direction, and with continued training and support, we're hopeful her drive will grow to match her natural ability. Lucille isn’t just about the search—she deeply values connection. She forms strong bonds with her handler and often seeks companionship more than praise for finding a scent. That emotional intelligence and loyalty will make her an incredible partner in the field. With a little encouragement and a lot of love, Lucille is on her way to becoming a devoted and dependable member of a search and rescue team. Your sponsorship can help her get there.​

Meet Pretty Face

The first to be named, Pretty Face earned her title the moment she opened her eyes—her natural beauty is impossible to miss. But there’s more to her than good looks. She’s coming along well on the trail, steadily learning the ropes and building confidence with each new challenge. While she’s still working on getting more excited about the find at the end of the trail, she’s already showing assertiveness where it counts—especially at the dog bowl! We’re hopeful that same determination will shine through in the field as she continues to grow. With her charm, smarts, and a little support, Pretty Face is on the path to becoming a strong and graceful working dog.​​

​

Meet Loverboy

Don’t let the name fool you—Loverboy is every bit as tough as he is tender. At just 15 weeks old, he’s already tipping the scales at 50 pounds, a powerhouse in the making. But behind that size is a big sweetheart, full of affection and charm. What really sets Loverboy apart is his motivation—he runs the trail with a hot nose and unshakable focus. When he makes a find, the excitement radiates off him. He thrives on the work and the reward, showing all the signs of a dog who was born for this mission. With your support, Loverboy will grow into both a formidable tracker and a loyal partner.

Meet Bertha

Adoption pictures below.

​

​Bertha is a quiet powerhouse with a nose that doesn’t miss a thing. She’s got all the natural ability needed for search and rescue work—but she’s still discovering what truly excites her on the trail. While she runs confidently in a pack, she’s learning how to tap into her own drive when working solo. Right now, Bertha is working through a bit of pack mentality, and with the right encouragement and training, we believe she’ll break through and shine on her own. With her excellent scenting skills and a heart full of potential, Bertha just needs the right spark—and your support can help light it.​​​​​

Meet Timmy

Timmy’s journey is one of quiet courage. As a tiny pup, visits to the vet were overwhelming—he trembled with fear until someone gently scooped him up and held him close. That simple comfort made all the difference. Once he felt safe, something inside Timmy began to change. Over time, the timid little pup started to blossom. Now, instead of shying away from new experiences, Timmy approaches with curiosity, often leading the way to “check it out.” His growing confidence is a testament to the power of patience and love. With your support, Timmy can continue building on his brave spirit and become a calm, compassionate search dog ready to face the world.
