Brava Roof Tile, Washington, Iowa, recently partnered with the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation to improve disaster response training. The collaboration is enhancing how search-and-rescue dogs prepare for real-world emergency scenarios.
Brava Roof Tile donated synthetic roofing tiles to construct training props that simulate collapsed roof conditions, providing challenging scenarios to train dogs how to track scents through debris and shifting surfaces with better precision. Many of the dogs come from shelters and are given a second chance at life as elite search-and-rescue animals, ready for deployment at a moment’s notice.
