In the wake of Hurricane Gustav and as Texas braces for Hurricane Ike, the need for more canine search dog teams takes center stage. America needs 450 search teams but currently only has half that amount and you’d be surprised to know that most trained search dogs come from shelters themselves.
Together, Nutro Natural Choice Brand and the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation are working to raise awareness about the need for more FEMA-certified canine search teams in an effort to up the nation’s disaster preparedness. They’ve jointly created www.foodforheroes.com and caring consumers (dog owners or not) who log on can get involved in this honorable cause by either casting a vote to help Nutro decide which canine disaster search team they should name and sponsor or by making a donation. Any donation made in the month of September will be matched by Nutro up to $200,000.
