Happy Hanukkah from our SDF family to yours! Wishing you a joyful holiday filled with good food and great company 🕎 Hanukkah Sameach!
What's something that made you smile this week? For us, it's search dog in-training Digger's adorable smile and eagerness to learn! Here, he's practicing engaging with his handler while on a walk, and loving every minute of it! #SaturdayFun
Stumped on what to get for the dog aficionado who has it all…How about your choice of SDF sweatshirt? Today only for #BlackFriday, get 15% off when you buy a sweatshirt using code THANKSSDF!
Why is Cyrus barking at that barrel? We're glad you asked! This training area is set up with multiple barrels just like the ones pictured, and one of them actually has someone hidden inside! Cyrus successfully pinpointed the scent at the correct barrel, and now he's alerting his handler that he's found someone. Then comes his reward—tugging on the toy! 🎉 Happy #FRIYAY, everyone!
Mmmmm, your dinner smells amazing—especially to your dog! As you prepare for Thanksgiving and your kitchen fills with mouthwatering scents of holiday favorites, take a moment to appreciate how your dog processes the smells wafting through your house. As aromatic as Thanksgiving dinner is to us humans, it smells intensely more powerful to dogs because they can smell each component of the recipe, not just the overall meal. So, where we only smell a delicious turkey roasting, dogs detect individual scents of turkey, butter, sage, onion, salt, and pepper. And where we smell pumpkin pie, dogs pick up on each distinctive odor of flour, shortening, pumpkin, milk, cinnamon, cloves, and (hopefully) whipped cream! That’s why today and every day, we’re thankful for these canines and the many ways their incredible noses can be used to improve our lives. Happy Thanksgiving!

In addition to search training, canine candidates learn how to comfortably wear gear like @RexSpecs goggles and boots, in case they ever need them when deployed. Exercises like this are incorporated into their training at SDF so these soon-to-be search dogs are prepared when partnered with their new handlers. #WorkingDogWednesday
Happy #TongueOutTuesday, everyone! Today we're showing off search dog in-training, Reva, who is eagerly awaiting the next command from her handler during direction-and-control training. Just look at that concentration!
It's #MomentsWeLoveMonday, and we're sharing some of our favorite shots from throughout the week—from great views to beautiful sunsets, and all of the training fun in between!
That's one happy pup! Search dog in-training Merlin is feeling victorious this Sunday with his prize after a successful search 🤩🎾 Great job, buddy, you earned it! We hope everyone's #SundayFunday is just as good and filled with treats!
Modern comfort meets vintage design with our new hoodie design… With the holidays right around the corner, shop with us to help transform rescued dogs into rescuers by giving a gift from the SDF Shop! https://searchdogfoundation.org/shop/
We've made it to another #FRIYAY and, dare we say it? We're even more jazzed than Cyrus! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone, however that looks for you 🧡🍂
