Shelby graduated out of Search and Rescue protocol. We will be working towards a certification in Area search and eventually working towards a certification in HRD with intent to be a dual purpose team! We can’t wait to support the community through 🧭👣🐾💜

Dobermans By Design lost a pillar of our program. Sophie (Shelby & Fury’s mother) crossed the rainbow bridge today at almost 15 years old. Rest easy Soph. I know you’re hanging out with Lexus. Eat all the bones. Chase all the frisbees. You did well. We’ll meet again. 💜

🐾 Building Strong Foundations! 🐾

Before our dogs and handlers move on to their chosen discipline within our team — such as human remains detection, area search, or tracking — they first complete a phases referred to as “Protocol.”

These stages are where new team members and their K9 partners are introduced to the core skills, structure, and teamwork that form the backbone of all SAR work. It’s about building trust, focus, and understanding — for both ends of the leash! 🦮

This weekend, we celebrated a few teams who have successfully completed steps within their initial training phases. 🌟

We’re so proud of the progress these handlers and dogs have made — and we’re excited to see where their hard work and dedication will take them next! 💚

For my 40th birthday, I’m raising donations for the Southwest Florida K-9 Search Unit 🐾💙

Shelby and I have been preliminarily invited to join their Search & Rescue team — a dream of mine for years. Soon, we could be deployed as a K-9 unit to help families during missing person and recovery efforts.

This amazing team is 100% volunteer and non-profit. Every dollar helps us train, equip, and deploy when we’re needed most.

👉 Donate here: https://www.swflk9search.org

✍️ Please note “Jessi & Shelby” in the memo so our team can track support. “Donate Now” tab accpets Paypal, Venmo, Apple Pay, or credit/debit cards.

Every penny counts, and I’m beyond grateful. 💙🐾
