A brief history...

Enter Karoo... (2024)
Winter of 2025 has been a challenging time to raise a puppy. Cold temperatures and snowy weather in Western New York significantly limited outside activities and socialization opportunities. Lucky for us, we have found an amazing Search and Rescue Team in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Originally joined in summer of 2023 because of the dogs, the phenomenal human volunteers have become a second family. They are kind, well organized and train frequently with teams held to a high criteria including IPWDA standards.
Photo above (credits mentor Michelle) shows Karoo training as a potential human remains detection dog. We are in the early stages of building her TFR or "Trained Final Response" at a single protocol block.
I encourage anyone with a love of the outdoors, dogs, and interest in helping people find lost loved ones check out NWPAK9SAR. There are also volunteer opportunities for remote support and auxiliary activities.
