Ways we support each other

Jen's Cancer Journey

Cancer-free and back at it!

PRO K-9 owner Jen Guthrie was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in February 2022. She spent a year working with an amazing team of doctors as she battled through chemotherapy, radiation and two surgeries. Now in remission, she's back to training and working on our next endeavor! We couldn't have made it through without the support of so many amazing people. Due to medical bills and Jen being unable to work through treatment, we are keeping our GoFundMe active to help as we continue to play catch up.

Rescue Rates
rescue

Our roots are in rescue, and we have a houseful of our own! We offer deeply discounted rates for dogs within the legal care (pre-adoption) of local registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organizations for training, evaluations, home introductions and foster home education. We also add a bonus 'Adoption Session' to our in-home programs to help transition adopted dogs to their forever homes.

Volunteering
rescue

We work closely with The Buster Foundation, a local non-profit rescue focused on pit bull type, mastiff and bully breed dogs. We developed a pro-bono training and activity membership program for the dogs in their care to learn, train and enjoy activities. You can help support their mission by donating, fostering, volunteering, adopting and more! We reward our Pack Members for their generosity with one credit per hour spent volunteering their time with the Buster Foundation.
