➢ Represented 13 breeds and breed mixes
➢ Spent >900 hours training
➢ Utilized >12 target odors
➢ Surveyed for >10,000 hours on 23 projects

Their work allowed us to collect data to help conserve wildlife, and they were rewarded with ⚾s, s, and s.

What a year! We can’t wait to see what opportunities 2024 will bring to our s.

And big shout out to our friends at Conservation Dogs Collective for starting a national day to honor our furry four-legged partners
