Support the Dogs
Our canine partners are at the heart of everything we do. Donations help provide training, veterinary care, conditioning, enrichment, equipment, and retirement support for the dogs that make this work possible. From their first training sessions to their final deployments—and beyond—your support helps ensure our dogs remain healthy, happy, and ready to perform at their best.
Support the Science
Conservation detection dogs help researchers locate wildlife scat, invasive species, rare plants, and other biological targets with remarkable efficiency and accuracy. Donations to support the science help us expand our field capabilities, pursue new conservation opportunities, and provide high-quality data to our partners.

The future of conservation detection dogs depends on skilled, knowledgeable handlers. Through education, mentorship, and professional training opportunities, K9 Conservationists is helping grow the next generation of conservation dog teams. Donations to the Sade & Simba Scholarship Fund help reduce financial barriers for aspiring handlers and create pathways into this specialized field.
