🐾❤️ FROM SHELTER DOG TO LIFESAVING SEARCH DOG! ❤️🐾

Every once in a while, a story comes along that reminds us exactly why we do what we do. This is one of those stories, and we could not be more proud to share it!
Meet Dingo, a former Stockton Animal Shelter dog who has officially completed his training with the Search Dog Foundation (SDF) and joined the ranks of America’s elite search dogs! Alongside his handler, Joe Z***r, Dingo is now part of California Task Force 8, where he will use his incredible abilities to help locate people during disasters.

To say we are proud would be an understatement! ❤️
We recently received a beautiful recognition from the Search Dog Foundation celebrating Dingo’s accomplishment, along with a heartfelt message:

“As Search Dog Dingo’s dedicated donor, we know you all are as proud of him as we are for completing his training with SDF. Dingo has joined the ranks of America’s elite search dogs.”

What an incredible honor for Dingo and a truly special moment for our entire Animal Services team!

Animal welfare isn’t always easy. Our team faces difficult days, complex situations, and challenges that most people never see. But every single day, our Animal Services Officers, shelter staff, medical teams, administrative staff, foster team and rescue team work together to give animals like Dingo the second chances they deserve.

To the Search Dog Foundation, Joe Z***r, and everyone who helped Dingo reach this incredible milestone, thank you for believing in him and giving him the opportunity to do something truly extraordinary. And to our entire Stockton Animal Services team, this is your success story, too. Be proud of the work you do and the lives you change every single day.

Dingo, we are all SO incredibly proud of you! From a Stockton shelter dog to a lifesaving search dog, you are proof of just how extraordinary a second chance can be! ❤️🐾
