Name Story: It means “Never Quit”, from Startrek)
Riker is a Search & Rescue dog in NW Wyoming. They are members of Jackson Hole Search Dogs. Riker is field-certified in wilderness, live find and recovery (land cadaver). He was joined by Booker (AAA litter) who is training to be a Search & Rescue dog.)
“We’ve been in the southwest for 3 months on a temporary work detail. This past weekend was our last before heading back to the Tetons. We explored more of the desert near Nageezi, NM. Found some amazing formations. Pups had a great time exploring a completely different environment. Riker always has to carry his Chuck-it ball with him. He loves that thing. He was having a blast bouncing it off the hardpack and chasing after it as it bounces off all the formations. His version of ping-pong. Riker is still keeping up on the adventures like he’s only 4 years old, not 9+. Still up for new adventures. These two love jumping in the car and going places.”

See Jamboree’s trading cards
“Karen asked me if I could help her with her Senior project. She wanted to survey high school students on the benefits of having Therapy Dogs in the classroom during the day and the positive impact they have. We visited on Mondays and Tuesdays for one month. I loved the interactions with the staff as well as the students. We gave out a survey and then went over everyone’s comments and presented the results to teachers and staff. Karen asked if she could bring Quiz. She was a rock star.”
“For the last day, the staff made the dogs a Thank You Pumpkin Cake. For the last day, the staff made the dogs a Thank You Pumpkin Cake. Karen didn’t bring Quizz that day, as Laurie and Jamboree had to go do Reading Dog at the Elementary school and Karen was in classes, so they didn’t want Quizz to have to sit in Laurie’s car for a good three hours. And the high school asked if we would come back for school finals.”
Jamboree at 9 years
“Happy 9h Birthday, JJs. Where has the time gone? One of Jamboree’s biggest joys is taking part in the Reading Education Assistance Dog Program (R.E.A.D) at both the Elementary and High schools’ Skills Centers. Jamboree’s unique skill set as a medical alert service dog allows her to also pick up triggers especially with non-verbal and autistic children 3 days a week. When Jamboree is not working, she loves being my team partner in many dog sports games during the summer, especially Nosework.”
