From Hopeless to
a Symbol of Hope

She was a four-legged fireball disguised as a Lab. After Annie’s antics became too much for her family, Search Dog Foundation handler Jeff Ivy tested her as search dog material. He fondly recalls, “She was a wild monster…incredibly energetic, athletic, and agile.” Under firefighter Shani Richeson, impish Annie has transformed into a partner who brings fierce intelligence and intensity to training that may one day save a life.


From Victim to Valiant


Abandoned by his owner, this scrappy survivor was tied to a railroad track, sprayed with mace, and left for dead. Luckily, Ace was found and sent to a shelter, where the Search Dog Foundation rescued him. Displaying endurance and tenacity that gave him his will to live, Ace is the perfect partner for firefighter Rob Cima. Having achieved Advanced Certification with FEMA, Ace is proof that love and patience can transform an abandoned pet into a hero.

From Acrobat to
Fearless Rescuer

Named for his facial markings, Jester faced euthanasia when Penny Woodruff of High Sierra Animal Rescue saw his potential. Penny notes Jester “had such a great attitude, we all just fell in love with him.” His ability to “fly over a seven foot fence” troubled his previous family, but the Search Dog Foundation saw a hero’s heart in the Border Collie mix. Teamed with firefighter Davis Doty, Jester has the focus needed to serve the nation in times of crisis.

Nutro Products General Manager,
Dave Horton:

“The NATURAL CHOICE® Brand believes in making the world a better place for people—and for dogs, too. That’s why we’re honored to have been chosen by the Search Dog Foundation as their exclusive pet food partner in support of its noble mission to rescue dogs, train them to save lives, and pair them with firefighters in service to America. It’s our commitment to these extraordinary heroes who stand at the ready for deployment to natural and terrorist disaster sites.”

SDF Executive Director,
Debra Tosch:

"SDF stands by NATURAL CHOICE®, as it provides complete, balanced premium nutrition and helps our canines sustain the performance level needed during training and deployments. I've fed my canine partner, Abby, NATURAL CHOICE® dog food since she was a puppy, and it's the only pet food I'll ever use. With the demands of search dog training, I trust it to provide her with the premium nutrition she needs to maintain maximum performance."
