• From shelter dogs to disaster search specialists (gov1.com) — A nationally known disaster search-dog nonprofit is based at a 145-acre training campus in Santa Paula, where rescued shelter dogs are turned into elite search specialists for deployments worldwide. The foundation covers dogs’ medical care for life, carefully matches them with firefighter-handlers, and brings teams back annually for ongoing training, all without government funding.
