Congrats to Seamus for being August's Employee of the Month! His fundraiser will benefit Heart of the Valley Shelter in Bozeman - where he found us! We're so grateful that they helped us make this match.

It's amazing to get to see this group of extremely endangered apes with babies!! Did you know that several of our dogs helped study Cross River Gorillas in Cameroon?

Using detection dogs @WD4C to sniff out spotted lanternfly, a threat to #vineyards and apple trees, we will estimate SLF detection probability & use #occupancymodeling to design early detection search strategies for the #invasivespecies. @NY_ISRI @AtkinsonCenter

Can anyone match the species to the eggs? We have killdeer eggs, loon eggs, pheasant eggs, and mallard eggs!

What does Seamus have on his head? It's an Outfox Field Guard! This net keeps Seamus's nose and eyes safe from foxtails. These grass seeds can burrow into your dog and require painful (and expensive) surgery to remove. Seamus can sniff and drink no problem with it on!

Our trained dogs help sniff out invasive plants. Did you know that many of these plants get to trailheads by hitching a ride on hikers? You can help stop the spread by learning more about #PlayCleanGo. info.playcleango.org/
