What arrived in mail from Australia? Our retired Conservation Dog, Filson just got fan art! 🥲 He’s featured in Andrea Rowe’s book, “Dogs with Jobs” for his work sniffing for endangered species & illustrator, Julia Murray sent him a print as a keepsake 💕 publishing.hardiegrant.com/en-us/books/...

🙏🏾to everyone who reached out during the recent PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Red Flag Alert in WA. All 20 of our dogs & staff are safe. We ran through our fire evacuation protocols in case of a Level 3 evac notice, & thankfully never got the call. Grateful to ALL the wildland firefighters.

🐝 We've been bee-sy! Echo just detected not 1, but 2 bumble bee nests! BB nests are notoriously difficult to find. Every nest our dogs detect helps researchers learn more about where these important pollinators live. We're so proud of Echo helping uncover some of nature's best-kept secrets. 💛🐝

Cute dog pics anyone? This is Echo & Whisper, two of our #conservationcanines who are hot on the sniff for an endangered species. The going is tough, the fieldwork is intense, & searching for data on a rare species in logged old growth makes us sad, but at least our cowoofers are adorable 🥰

Just got our 1st call, likely not the last: one of our wildlife projects is at risk. We rescue shelter 🐕, who 💕 🥎, to find endangered species & support noninvasive wildlife research. That's it. We don’t ask for much. Just the chance to help our natural world. Uncertain times ahead. 😔💙🌎

It was a very Rogue Year in Wildlife Detection: 2024 was (bio)diverse! We're grateful to our "pawsome" collaborators for their dedication to noninvasive wildlife research. Here's looking at you 2025 (& all the species our #ConservationK9s will sniff for). 🎊🧧🐕‍🦺 #NewYear2025

#DetectionTeam Juno & Stern just wrapped up black 🐻 surveys in Michigan w UT State Univ in collaboration w MI DNR. Let's give the team 3 "awoos" for their hard work. They braved frosty mornings, camping in the 🥶, & long surveys in search of data (💩). Samples have been sent to the lab for analysis! 💪🏿

Found our way into science, & the field of wildlife, while conducting endangered spotted owl surveys working alongside rescue dogs turned Conservation K9s! Now we have a program dedicated to sniffing for solutions for rare wildlife by partnering with our canine colleagues, from orcas, to bumblebees.
