A retired Physical Education instructor, mother of four sons, and grandmother of six, Wilma was one of the FEMA Certified Canine Search Specialists who responded to the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995. Convinced that more highly trained teams were needed in the U.S., she founded the Search Dog Foundation to address this critical gap in our nation’s disaster response network.
