P.S. We have a new Patrol Puppy at Squaw Valley that arrived just yesterday. Stay tuned for more adorable photos.

Donate to the Squaw Dog Team
The Squaw Avalanche Rescue Dog program was established back in the 1980s, and comprised of one dog and one handler. From its humble beginnings, the dog program has grown over the years, and at one point had as many as ten active dogs on the hill.
