How You Can Help

There have been increasing bear/cougar encounters with humans in western Washington since the early 1990's and these problems continue today. To date, the use of traditional techniques has been the foundation of the WDFW program to resolve bear/cougar conflicts with humans. The general public, often with intense media attention, increasingly look to WDFW agency personnel to address these problems using new and innovative techniques, as well as non-lethal approaches whenever possible. The Karelian bear dogs have been a valuable resource to assist with these issues.

FUNDING NEEDS

Funding for this important program must be 100% supported by private donations. WDFW is faced with major budget cuts and no public funding is available at this time to support the KBD's important work. We need your help to keep these dogs working in Washington State.
