Doghouse Rescue Academy

Celebrating DHRA alumni ⭐️SMOKEY⭐️!

SMOKEY was owner surrendered after his previous household, admitted that they weren’t exactly sure how to manage his breed tendencies. This resulted in a provoked fear bite.

The Hansel family fell in love with him immediately, and wr knew that they were the perfect fit!

His dad Eric got him into K9 Search & Rescue! What an amazing evolution Smokey has experienced, all thanks to the Hansell family who adopted him a few years ago 💗💗💗

Smokey might be called to the next search & rescue in your neighborhood! And we know he will do an awesome job! 

Every search dog starts somewhere.

Some begin with natural confidence.
Some begin with endless drive.
Some begin with a long list of things they still need to learn.

What matters isn’t where a dog starts—it’s the commitment to showing up, putting in the work, and continuing to learn together.

Search and Rescue is built on a foundation of education, patience, consistency, and growth. Every experienced handler, every certified dog, and every successful team once stood exactly where all new teams begin: at the start.

We’re proud of every volunteer who is willing to step outside their comfort zone, learn something new, and invest in the journey.

Because progress doesn’t happen overnight.

It happens one training day at a time. 🐾

⭐️ DUTTON ⭐️

Dutton ain’t lookin’ for a bunkhouse… he’s lookin’ for his forever ranch. 🤠🐾

Strong like a cowboy. Loyal like your best trail dog. And underneath that rugged outlaw look? Pure heart.

Dutton’s ready to ride shotgun through life — whether that’s sunsets, snack time, or guarding the couch like it’s the Yellowstone.

Every ranch deserves a good dog.
Every good dog deserves a home.
