Mission
We bring the conservation detection dog method to the forefront of scientific research by providing knowledgeable field teams and hands-on instruction for researchers, aspiring dog handlers, and citizen scientists to foster collaboration and community involvement.
The Dogs
"We are a small, misfit team of wildlife biologists devoted to adopting shelter dogs who have otherwise been overlooked and partnering with them for noninvasive wildlife research. Their commitment and dedication have resulted in remarkable findings and discoveries about vulnerable wildlife species. Our work in this field has spanned over two decades, yet there is still SO MUCH our wiley rescue dogs teach us daily. We cherish their patience, love, and acceptance and are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside them each day. They are the heart and soul of our organization."

Working dogs are my passion and I am serving as their Ambassador!
-
I'm Holly Cook and I am a strong advocate for working dog organizations.
This campaign is helping to raise necessary funds for Rogue Detection Teams, Steven's Pass Avalanche Dogs, K9 Conservationists and Wind River Bear Institute. -
Working dog organizations are vital but they lack two
things: time and money.
All of these organizations serve their communities in important ways. In addition to training the dogs and personnel, these organizations also have to raise money, but they have very little time to do so. -
I am serving as ambassador for working dog
organizations.
This is where I come in! As a self appointed ambassador for working dog organizations, I can create fun fundraising opportunities that engage my audience, as well as the organization's audience. In a perfect world, all of the audiences would come together to support all of the organizations. -
How can you help?
Support one or all of the organizations with a monetary donation or check out their Amazon wish lists (if they have one). Follow them on social media and share!
- K9 Conservationists as an added incentive, if you donate $100 or more to K9 Conservationists, you will receive a hand written post card and some "fieldwork finds" (no, it's not scat.)
- Steven's Pass Avalanche Dogs
- Wind River Bear Institute as an added incentive, if you donate $100 or more to Wind River Bear Institute, you will receive a signed post card from Soledad and a WRBI logo sticker!
- Rogue Detection Teams
The funds that are raised during this fundraiser will help each organization purchase items for the dogs, such a food, equipment, vet bills and other daily needs.
$20 - could purchase a small bag of dog food
$50 - could purchase a large bag of dog food
$100 - could purchase a large bag of dog food and small, essential equipment (leashes, collars, etc)
$200 - could purchase a working dog vest
$300 - could pay for a standard vet visit
$500 - could purchase equipment such as gps trackers, specialized tools & equipment for the dogs, OR it could purchase 10 large bags of dog food OR pay an unexpected, emergency vet bill.
Think about how much you spend on your own personal dog, now consider having multiple dogs who have specialized jobs!
Thank you for taking the time to show your support! Our goal is to raise $1,000 for each organization and, with your help, I am hopeful we will reach our goal!
