We are so excited for this talented little guy-he LOVES to work!
Bubba Rubble
Bubba rockin the rubble this morning!
Another evaluation we push SAR/detection candidates through is unstable footing challenges. The dog must want the reward enough to not be hampered by shifting surfaces, voids and difficult access routes to get to the scent source.
Bubba - tenacity
One of our drive evaluations for screening potential SAR/detection candidates is what we call the tenacity test. This test shows us the dog's commitment to the reward and how hard and focused he/she will be to continue efforts to gain access.
Bubba has got what it takes so far!!
CHAPPY needs your help!
Our "differently-abled" boy (he is deaf) is still searching for his forever home!
Chappy has been in shelters and rescue for his whole life. As one of our Project Canine Upcycle pups, we can't believe he is still waiting here.
He is THE best boy! 1-2 yr old mixed breed. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained and has a solid foundation of basic obedience. He is a quiet traveler and loves everyone he meets. He is conditioned to a vibration collar to help him stay ready and willing to follow hand signals-honestly he is so checked in, it is rarely necessary to use his "pager" to get his attention. (This is not a shock collar-it is only a vibration collar).
Chappy has been solid with dog/dog interactions here with us. He would require good leadership in a new home and housemate intros and we are happy to help with that process as well as ongoing training at no charge. We want the best for this guy!
He would be the best camping, biking, hiking, traveling buddy. He is uber fit and LOVES adventures!
Please share Chappy's info.
Message or call (605)561-0249 to meet this amazing friend!
Little guy always in charge!
Romper Room Recess with these goofballs!!
Sage (the little guy), Cheddar (the fluffy guy) and Elvis (super nice pup)-are all current Stay and Train guests. They are a riot!
I think they are wondering where the snow went...Muttley Crew!
CHAPPY SKILLS!!
-------------------
This really amazing boy is STILL waiting to find his forever home!!
1 1/2 yr mixed breed. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained, solid basic obedience.
Chappy is DEAF!! ...but he knows basic signs, is conditioned to a vibration collar and is so very checked in that he is a really responsive friend. Chappy has been in shelters and rescues and has even completed a prison pup program! Chappy would be an amazing adventure buddy!!! He has a happy heart and just really wants to find his bff for life.
He has some stimulus-related inappropriate reactions (resources and unmanaged dog/dog introductions) that are most likely related to his disability. We would spend time with potential adopter to ensure success going forward as he really loves his community play groups here with us.
Please share this special boy's information. Message us or give us a call to meet him!!

This little guy loves to learn!! Showing off his new trick..:
...and some practice with his down command (this boy is very responsive to hand signals).
Really fun boy to spend time with...help us find Chappy the very best home!
Chappy wanted to check in and hopes that everyone will continue to share his information. Chappy is our deaf UPCYCLE PUP. He is looking for a home/family to call his own. While this boy has a disability, he is such a good boy and tries very hard to please. We wanted to show you his vibration collar that helps interact with him-similar to calling his name to get his attention.
