And we’re off for the most exciting project of the pups’ and my careers 😍 Last-minute change- Emma is coming too!!! So excited to start this adventure with my girls. If you’ve talked to me in the last two weeks, you’ve heard about the major van remodel my dad and I did. It started with installing one simple cabinet… then turned into us gutting the van, putting in new floors, all new cabinets, an upgraded electrical system, and sooooo much more! All in TWO WEEKS! I’m in love with my van, and it’s going to be an absolutely perfect home for us over the next 3 months 🥰

Lily is hanging out with my parents this time around and has already helped herself to the pool multiple times 💕

Big announcement!!! 📣
In just under a week, Wren and I will be heading to Oregon to do a MAJOR bucket list project that I am truly over the moon about! We will be conducting Humboldt marten scat surveys on the Oregon coast 😍 I haven’t been able to share this publicly until just now, but everything is signed and official: WE’RE DOING A SCAT PROJECT!!!! 🐾💩

I can’t express how excited and honored I am to be a part of this project and how much working with an endangered species means to me.

Only 2.5 years ago, I had endless dreams of being a conservation detection dog handler- but things kept falling through, life kept getting in the way, and opportunities were scarce. Thanks to the amazing Sarah Jackson (@sarahsmile822), Emma and I were able to start our first job as a detection dog team 💕

We spent the next 2 years running around the fields, bringing Wren on in the second year, and having a blast! We endured extremely harsh weather, super long days, injury, and overall exhaustion, but the job was better than I could have ever hoped for. Being a handler has been so fulfilling in so many different ways, and I’m thrilled to have this golden opportunity!

Huge thank you to @k9.conservationists for collaborating and trusting Wren and I on this amazing project.

We’ll be sharing more on Atlas Ecological Detection Dog’s page soon, so be sure to follow @atlasecodogs to keep up to date on all things marten scat!!! 🌲🐕

LIFE UPDATE! 💕 I’ve been sitting on this one for a while now- but I’m SO excited to announce Heidi, Jacqueline, and I have launched our own non-profit:
Atlas Ecological Detection Dogs! 🐾
Our mission is to train and deploy conservation detection dogs to monitor ecological health, protect wildlife, and identify biological threats.
We have a ton of incredible projects coming up over the next few months that I can’t wait to share with everyone. It would mean the world if you’d follow our journey on Instagram @atlasecodogs and support us however you can. 💕
We aren’t set up for donations just yet, but following us, checking out our website, sharing posts, and spreading the word about our mission goes an extremely long way. Thank you for being part of this ride!
