What arrived in mail from Australia? Our retired #ConservationDog, Filson just got fan art! 🥲 He’s featured in Andrea Rowe’s book, “Dogs with Jobs” for his work sniffing for endangered species & illustrator, Julia Murray sent him a print as a keepsake 💕

🙏🏾to everyone who reached out during the recent PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Red Flag Alert in WA. All 20 of our dogs & staff are safe. We ran through our fire evacuation protocols in case of a Level 3 evac notice. Grateful to ALL the wildland firefighters. #wildfire

"'This study is a powerful reminder that mountain lions are ecosystem engineers,' McDonald said. ‘Protecting pumas isn’t just about saving a charismatic species. It’s about safeguarding the functional health of the entire landscape.'" news.mongabay.com/2026/06/on…
🐝 We've been bee-sy! Our #ConservationDog Echo recently detected not 1, but 2 bumble bee nests! Every nest detected helps researchers learn more about where these pollinators live. We're so proud of our Bumblebee Dog’s noses, helping uncover some of nature's best-kept secrets.
Meet our retired Conservation Dogs: our Grey Muzzle Club, our Old Guard. Adopted from shelters for their love of fetch, they dedicated their careers in service to wildlife.
Pips (17) Winnie (16), Dio (14), Beckett (13), Filson (12). We 💗 you so much. You earned your couch time.

OMB’s proposed overhaul of federal grant rules drew nearly HALF A MILLION public comments led by the scientific community - an extraordinary response and, as far as I can tell - among the largest public comment dockets ever for an OMB rulemaking.
Safety 1st for our #ConservationDogs! Echo & Jax donned their @ruffwear Float Coats for coastal 🐺, 🐻 & puma research w S. Dixon, Marine Specialist at @pacificwild. 🙏🏾to First Nation “pawtners” for getting our Sniffer Dogs to the rugged shores where they could sniff for data.
We’re volunteering our sniff-pertise for coastal wolf, cougar, & bear research w @pacificwild. To offset fuel costs for First Nations providing boat transportation for our teams, head to: pacificwild.org/donate/ & select “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.” Every dollar matters 🙏🏾🥹

"Extinction doesn't begin when the last individual dies. It begins earlier, when a population is cut off from the processes that sustain it. When mates cannot be found. When young cannot disperse. When genes cannot move. When a drought cannot be escaped. When a local loss cannot be repaired by arrival from elsewhere. When a patch of life becomes an island and the sea around it widens. Wildlife corridors are one way of narrowing the seas we've made." dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

With summer coming, it’s important to stay aware of seasonal risks for dogs, including leptospirosis.🐶 This disease can spread through exposure to infected wildlife like rats and mice, as well as contaminated water sources. Learn more #petsafety here: bit.ly/42KmXvI

Never in modern American history have we seen this level of politicization of science.
Federal research grants may now need to “demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities.” Peer review will take a back seat to political approval.
Scientists cannot remain silent.

Wildlife crossings are poised for a major boost under a new bipartisan transportation bill that would extend and expand federal investment in projects designed to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions across the country. wildlife.org/congress-expand…
