RETIRED ROGUE DOGS
Whether it was years of “paw-tnership” or one fun summer, we are grateful for all Rogue dogs, past and present. Thank you for your aid in wildlife conservation.
Please meet our pack from the past. While many retired dogs live their golden years at Rogue HQ, the majority are adopted out to previous program members. This allows us to provide homes for more rescues needing a second chance.
Pips
Adopted from: United Animal Friends Rescue
Pips, is our pollinator sniffer extraordinaire, that came to us all the way from Arizona. He had been adopted & returned so many times because he was "too much." It was almost the end of the road for him when we got a message about this wild boy. We've never looked back. This adorable gremlin, is so obsessed with fetch, if you give him a carrot treat he'll toss it back out to have you throw it. He’s 13 yrs young, and from tiny ermine scats in BC's rainy Haida Gwaii to badger, no odor eludes this stubby boy!

Winnie
Adopted from: Prison Pet Partnership
Code name, Xena Warrior Princess. This #shero came to us from Prison Pet Partnership, an organization with a similar mission to ours. To find dogs who need a second lease at life and give them a purpose again, working alongside and rehabilitating people. She used to be afraid of leaves, now she's our fearless EcoWarrior! She's a spirited little searcher with a TON of energy. Now no longer afraid of leaves, Winnie will stick her nose in piles of them to help locate species as diverse as cryptic rubber boa, wolverines, cached mountain lion samples, and even avian and bat mortalities at wind facilities. With one quirky ear, she’s playful, sweet, and beloved by all.

Beckett
Adopted from: Loving owner
Beckett doesn’t look like your typical working dog & that's because he isn't! He may look like a teddy bear, but he wants to be respected. He doesn't get as much air time as a few of our other detection dogs because Beckett's skills are more specialized. With his small stature and fluffy coat, he requires a very specific project to shine. Despite his small in stature, his love for fetch is strong & his size is what helps us on our pollinator projects! Beckett detects caterpillar scat (frass) the size of pepper flakes. His light-feet help our teams to maneuver delicately in search of clues about these tiny endangered species. Best known for his sweetheart demeanor & delicate sniffing powers.

Gone from the earth, but never from our hearts
Our beloved dogs who had to leave us behind, wait at the end of The Rainbow Bridge. Gone from our lives, but never absent in our hearts. We will honor you forever as the ones who started this journey with us - our teachers, our partners, our family.
Thank you, Chester, Alli, Scooby, Max and Captain
