Zephyr

Zephyr's Soap! Zephyr is a shepherd mix in training for air scent wilderness with Michigan Search and Rescue. 

Zephry was a rescue and adopted through PetSmart and is named after the city where the adoption took place. Her handler, Adam, saw the potential in her high energy to be more than a pet. When she first came to MISAR she was way too shy and nervous around the other dogs, people and activity. Adam took her home and work hard at socializing her and working through the anxiety. All the hard work paid off and she started her SAR training! Zephyr loves being an air scent dog and ranges really well to look for her subjects. It won't be long and this dog will be certified.

Zephyr's soap is scented with an essential oil blend of gingergrass, lemongrass and patchouli. It is citrusy with some substance under it!

Rayna is a mixed breed dog that came from a doberman rescue group. She is a certified Human Remains Detection dog with Michigan Search and Rescue and training as a recovery specialist disaster dog for the Michigan Task Force. 

Rayna is a sweet, little girl but don't let that fool you! She is tough and can manuever over rubble really well. She is one of the best dogs on the team to work with younger dogs, especially those who think it's ok to misbehave, as she gives great corrections so they learn how to play nice. Rayna has a bark indication which is a requiredment for disaster dogs. 

Rayna's soap is scented with one of our favorite fragrances, Whtie Tea and Ginger, a soft floral type blend with citrus notes, spices and jasmine.

This weeks featured soap is Emma. Emma is a German Shepherd with Michigan Search and Rescue. She is deployable as an Air Scent/Wilderness dog.

Emma's handler, Robert, has been with the team since 2008. He orginally worked with one of his older shepherds but not every dog wants to do SAR work. Emma, on the other hand, showed great promise when she came to Robert. She was donated with the hope that her natural energy would be good for SAR. It was love at first sight. She is a gentle, loving shepherd who gets along well with the other dogs on the team and the handlers too. 

Emma's soap is scented with a fragrance blend of champagne and black raspberry vanilla.
