Our Wild World

Working Dogs for Conservation trains and deploys the world’s best conservation detection dogs, finding everything from invasive beetle larvae, to reptiles, to invasive and endangered plants, and of course, elusive carnivores like wolverine, cheetah, and Amur Tiger. WDC dogs work non-invasively and without harming or harassing the target species, making conservation data collection sampling more effective, efficient and ethical. WDC also offers a second chance to high-drive shelter dogs, many of whom would have been euthanized but now have important jobs in saving wildlife, with operations in 11 countries and 18 US states. Pete has spent most of his career working in wildlife conservation from Kenya to South and North America. A trained biologist and landscape ecologist, Pete’s work has taken him rom research to conservation planning, to implementing conservation projects leading on the ground fieldwork.
