An estimated half a million pets are affected by fires each year in the United States. The FIDO BAG® Program supplies fire departments with the necessary pet emergency equipment and training so pets can receive medical help IMMEDIATELY at the point of rescue!
Our Homeless to Heroes Program identifies dogs that have been discarded or surrendered whose personalities may do well as Search and Rescue K9’s, Trains them, and places them with Search and Rescue teams such as FEMA, Fire, and Police.
Our First Responders program provides emergency access to all fetch programs for fire, police and emergency medical personnel. We ensure that first responders are well-prepared so that they can have the peace of mind to focus on the task at hand.
