Avalanche rescue dogs and their handlers play a critical role in saving lives by quickly locating individuals buried under snow after an avalanche. These highly trained teams work in challenging and often dangerous environments, using the dogs’ keen senses to detect survivors when every second counts.

We support these teams by providing essential funding for veterinary bills to ensure the dogs remain healthy and ready for duty, as well as for continuing education and advanced training tools that help handlers keep their skills sharp and adapt to evolving rescue techniques. Our commitment ensures that these life-saving teams have the resources they need to perform at their best when it matters most.
