This year the U.S. has experienced devastating natural disasters.
Outbreaks of tornadoes leveled entire neighborhoods.
Flooding trapped people in their homes.
Wildfires burned out of control.
When people go missing during these catastrophes, it’s a race against time to find them alive – or their remains.
That crucial search is often carried out by specially trained dogs.
FEMA has 280 certified detection dogs trained to find people in disasters. Another 80 dogs are trained to search for human remains.

Creating Lasting Memories by the Sea: A Heartfelt Journey with Our Beloved Dog Before She Crosses the Rainbow Bridge
In the face of unimaginable challenges, Noah’s story is a testament to the power of love and compassion. This brave soul, plagued by tumors and critical health conditions, was once a forsaken street dog.
But thanks to the incredible efforts of Laika, a charity based in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, Noah found herself surrounded by love in her final months. When Noah was rescued, she could barely walk due to her overgrown nails and was covered in tumors. The Fundación Laika Protectora de Animales, A.C. rescued her from a life of isolation, neglect, and pain.
Despite her terminal condition, Noah was promised happiness, love, and companionship. She watched the sunset, felt the cool sea breeze, and experienced the kindness of people who cared for her.
Noah’s journey came to an end, but not without leaving a lasting impact on those who knew her. Her courage and resilience inspired all who crossed her path. We bid her farewell with love and gratitude for the valuable lessons she taught us about compassion and the enduring spirit of animals.
Let Noah’s story be a reminder that even in the face of adversity, love can transform lives.
