On October 14th, 2024, our team was shocked and incredibly humbled to receive an extremely generous donation from the folks at Douglas Machine, to the tune of $23,000! Their Enriching Lives efforts hit the mark for us in a big way!
The donation was part of an annual fundraiser the employee-owners put on to benefit a local nonprofit organization they choose through an application and selection process.
Due entirely to the generosity of the Douglas Machine crew, we were able to purchase a boat for training our Human Remains K9s on water problems in preparation for eventual certification and deployments. With a very limited number of K9s certified for water recovery in the state, this purchase means far more than just a boat for the land of 12,000 lakes!
Our teams are working diligently in an effort to certify in summer of 2025, when we're able to bring training and certification resources to the state that are nearly never offered here (also thanks to this generous donation)! Watch for information on this and other training opportunities coming soon!
These and more initiatives are driven by our dedication to making sure these funds have the greatest possible impact in our area by:
Facilitating training and outreach programs for therapy dog handlers in our community;
Supporting water operations for Search and Recovery;
Providing vital training opportunities for Search and Rescue teams across the state.
We once again offer a heartfelt thank you to Douglas Machine for their incredible support!
