On July 19, 2025, our training team officially passed the leashes of four incredible search dog graduates to their new handlers. Friends, family, and SDF staff gathered to celebrate these teams and the hard work and dedication that got them to this moment and the beginning of their careers in service to the nation.
Thanks to you and your support, we are proud to introduce you to the newest search teams to join our roster:
Austin Addington & Raya (Oklahoma Task Force 1, Tulsa)
Brock Bybee & Cam (Oklahoma Task Force 1, Tulsa)
Nathan Johnson & Dino (Oklahoma Task Force 1, Oklahoma City)
Keaton Rogers & Bubba (Oklahoma Task Force 1, Oklahoma City)
Now, they join the ranks of two- and four-legged heroes across the country who are ready to search for survivors in the aftermath of a disaster. In the next year, each handler and search dog will work together every day, honing their skills, growing their incredible bond, and preparing for certification to make them deployable with their fire departments and task forces.
We are so proud of these teams and can’t wait to see all they will accomplish together!
