What Our Project Partners Had to Say
"Our experience with K9 Conservationists was a great asset to our ocelot research program. We knew getting scat data would be a challenging endeavor, but working with K9 Conservationists allowed us to execute an effective project. The team was professional and easy to plan/work with, and we collected valuable data for Texas felids. Our handler Lauren, and her dogs, endured especially tough conditions to get the job done! We want to especially thank Kayla for helping to manage the project, Lauren for running an awesome dog team, and of course the hard-working pups Finn and Benny!"
