PAWS ON THE GROUND - HURRICANE MILTON: MEET BARNEY Barney came to SDF from our friends at Retrieving Freedom, Inc., where he was being trained for a career in canine assistance work. As Barney grew older, his toy obsession and nonstop energy led his trainers to believe that he would be better suited for a career as a search dog, so they reached out to SDF for an evaluation, and Barney was accepted into our program. Once here, it was easy to see why a career as a service dog was not the right fit

While 27 SDF-trained search teams were deployed to Hurricanes Helene and Milton to assist communities impacted by the storms, the work here on SDF's campus didn't miss a beat! At SDF's National Training Center, search dog candidates train 365 days a year, because it's not a matter of if—but when—disaster will strike, and when it does, it's crucial that our dogs are ready for anything that comes their way! Your support enables us to provide our canine disaster search teams with the top-tier train
