Hi, I’m Roobie! I'm friendly, eager to please, and ready to make new pals. My heart truly belongs outdoors, where every day is an adventure waiting to unfold alongside my beloved human. Mom isn’t just my caregiver; she's my best friend. She opened her heart and home to me when I found her as a wandering puppy on Mother’s Day in 2021. I love being goofy and free-spirited, doing zoomies, spending time with tiny humans, and play-wrestling with Mom. She says I’m the best wrestler because I never get tired or fall for her shenanigans! The best way to end the day is by cuddle time with Mom and my doggo siblings! I began my career in Search and Rescue, specialized in air-scent, in January of 2022. Overall, I’m a happy pup and I love what I do. I enjoy helping people, have so much fun outdoors, and want to do cool dog stuff forever!

Yet, amidst the excitement, he finds solace in being a gentle giant, offering warmth and comfort as a snuggle buddy on chilly nights. His journey is one of purpose, filled with the thrill of adventure and the satisfaction of making a difference, leaving a lasting paw print on the hearts of those he’s touched.
Hi there, I’m Katara! I knew from birth I was destined for greatness, inheriting a legacy of champions from my bloodlines. Through puppyhood, my love for adventure and companionship blossomed. I was often found exploring the outdoors and urban settings by my mother's side, though I couldn't resist the occasional sock chew. Under the guidance of my devoted human, I earned my Canine Good Citizen certification. But that was just the beginning. With a heart full of courage and a nose eager for action, I delved into the intricate art of air-scent in Search and Rescue, honing my skills to become a beacon of hope in times of need. As I wag my tail in anticipation of the adventures that lie ahead, one thing remains certain—I'll always be Mom's loyal companion, ready to face whatever challenges come our way, one adventure at a time.
