GivingTuesday is a movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world. This year, Category 5 K9 is using #GivingTuesday as the launch place for our Search for Search Dogs campaign. We would love to have you donate to support one or all of our amazing programs, but this is GIVING Tuesday, not donate Tuesday. So here is what we are asking our amazing followers:

This Giving Season Screen a Shelter Dog!

Our goal this season is to spread the word about the Shelter to Search Program and the easiest way to do that is for all our amazing followers to visit their local rescues and shelters and talk about the screening process and hopefully screen some great dogs. Send us the videos and details for us to Courtesy Post any dogs you think would thrive with a job.

Here are other ways to participate in Search for Search Dogs:

Tell someone new about the Shelter to Search Program.
Share why you support Category 5 K9 with your social network.
Share the training and screening resources you can find on our YouTube channel.
Make a resolution to volunteer at your local shelter or rescue to evaluate dogs at least once a month.

Thank you for choosing to support Category 5 K9 this giving season!

From Shelter to Search

Category 5 K9 works with shelters and rescues to screen dogs for potential to become search dogs. They partner with different organizations and directly with handlers to find those high drive rescue dogs jobs they love. The Category 5 K9 alumni have jobs in wilderness and urban search and rescue, narcotics detection, explosives detection, contraband detection, and even conservation work.

Search and Rescue Team

Category 5 K9 has a volunteer search team made up of certified search and rescue canine teams that are available 24/7 to help local first responders find the lost and missing.

From Search to Retirement

Category 5 K9 also partners with Texas Task Force Foundation to provide support toward the medical care of retired Texas A&M Task Force canines. These canines served communities across the United States after disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and structural collapse now it's our turn to support them.
