Help Us Put More Conservation Dogs in the Field

Working dogs are changing the future of conservation. With their incredible noses and unwavering drive, these dogs can find what humans often can’t—endangered wildlife, invasive species, ending wildlife crime, and ecological threats hidden in vast landscapes. They make conservation work faster, more accurate, and more effective.

But they can’t do it alone.

Every conservation dog team requires specialized training, expert handlers, veterinary care, travel to remote field sites, and gear that keeps them safe and effective. These costs add up quickly, and many conservation programs operate on tight budgets.
