Every Order Helps Hero Dogs

National Disaster Search Dog Foundation

Our profits, your charity

Giving to charity at checkout is a powerful fundraising tool. But instead of asking you to round up your receipt, we're inviting you to direct where our donations go.

How much is being donated is prominently featured on every product, so there's no guessing how much we're giving - it's real money making a real difference to our Working Dog partners.

Where is my donation going?

We have partnered with The Natural Disaster Search Dog Foundation for our Search & Recovery charity. When you select Search & Recovery as your charity at checkout, we will make a donation on your behalf directly to them. 

Why donations matter

From every order, Engine 34 will make a donation to the charity of your choice. This donation is part of our Fueling Heroes™ Campaign which provides funding to working dogs across the United States. 

Each year, dogs and their handlers respond to thousands of calls for missing persons. Often times, during natural disasters including wildfires, and hurricanes, and structural collapse. These dogs and their handlers work tirelessly to make an impact in our communities, saving lives, and bringing hope to those around them.

Why SDF - From Rescue to Rescuer
  • One of our favorite things about SDF is their mission to recruit dogs from across the country from shelters or abandonment. After evaluation, each dog undergoes specialized training to become a life-saving search dog.
  • These skilled search dogs are paired with firefighters and first responders, who are trained to handle the chaos of disaster situations where the dogs are invaluable.
  • SDF makes a lifetime commitment to every dog—those who do not complete training are placed in a new a career change path or in a loving Lifetime Care home.
No Cost to Fire Departments

SDF receives no government funding and relies entirely on private donations to rescue, train, and partner these dogs with firefighters and first responders. From recruitment and care to specialized training and ongoing support, SDF provides search dogs free of charge to task forces and fire departments.
