Celebrating the growth of WEST’s Detection Dog Program!

In 2018, WEST started its Detection Dog Program with 5 dogs and 5 handlers. In 2021, WEST deployed 38 detection dogs and 27 handlers on projects across the country- that’s more than 7 times as many dogs as we started with! This month we will be sharing our Detection Dog Program. Stay tuned weekly for ‘pupdates’ to learn more about what detection dogs can do for conservation, and how WEST can help you on future projects.
