The world of the working dog is not just a hobby for most people, it is a passion.

​

While the community is small, the impact is huge with working dogs impacting all aspects of life for most people at some point in their lives.

​

Every person who enters an airport has direct or indirect contact with TSA canines who search for explosives to keep us safe. There are handler/dog teams checking for smuggled contraband including invasive species, food, and plants at almost every entry to our country.

​

There are narcotic detection dogs working to combat drugs like Fentanyl from entering our country and our communities.

​

Police canines might track suspects and locate evidence but also help find lost individuals.

​

Dogs can detect cancer, help warn their owners before a seizure, and also protect a family from intruders.

​

All these tasks are important to American Schutzhund and are the basis of the tests each dog is evaluated on.

​

It is our mission to make sure there are dogs capable of continuing these valuable roles by financially supporting AS.
