Rowan is thriving with his new owner/handler and family. He is crushing it in conservation detection out on the wind farms of California. So happy to be a stepping stone for Rowan to find his perfect place. Thank you National Disaster Search Dog Foundation for your continued trust in us to find the right role for these amazing dogs.

Really cool new research about safely cooling dogs off using a submersion technique. My George was the smartest boy, he did this instinctively.

As summers continue to get warmer year-over-year, new research from the Penn Vet Working Dog Center (PVWDC) reveals the best way to prevent dogs from overheating.

After comparing various cooling methods, researchers found when a dog voluntarily submerged their head in clean, room-temperature water to retrieve a treat or toy, they not only cooled off faster, but also avoided dangerous post-exercise temperature spikes.

“During heat stress, blood flow to the head, nose, tongue, and ears is increased,” said Cynthia M. Otto, VMD, PhD, lead author of the study and executive director of the PVWDC. “Cooling the tissues of the head allows for rapid cooling of the whole body with limited amounts of water.”

We had another lovely feature about our rare cactus work in Arizona. This time, in Arizona Highways written by Noah Austin who came out with us on our first survey for Pediocactus this past spring.

When all you have is a hammer, Abraham Maslow once noted, everything looks like a nail. Similarly, when all you have are a bunch of botanists, everything looks like a pediocactus.
