You helped us reach our goal and then some!  Thank you so very much!  Tails are wagging madly over here and we can't wait to keep you updated on the progress of the course.

Let's keep going!  Everything we raise past this point can be used to build an additional exercise area for our mother dogs, and to enhance the obstacle course for our young dogs in training.

Thank you, again, for your support.  Please keep sharing our project on social media.  With your help, man's best friend can be man's best defense.  https://rise.auburn.edu/project/1201

We are delighted to share that we have reached 83% of our goal.  That's more than $8,000 from over 100 donors.  Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to read about our project and then for making a gift.  Your support, both by giving and by sharing our story will make it possible for us to ensure that dogs like Rapunzel and her family grow up to be the most superior detection dogs in the world.

We have 9 hours and about $2,700 hours to go.  Please help spread the word with your posts and tweets.  The link is: https://rise.auburn.edu/project/1201  and we're using #TigerGiving and #HelpRaiseAHero to help people find us.

In the meantime, check out the message from Rapunzel and her crew below:

Woof! We're nearly halfway to our goal!  Thank you so much to everyone who has given and thank you to everyone who is considering making a gift.  Opportunities to provide such direct and meaningful support to a program that impacts our security are unique, and we are grateful to everyone for participating.  With your help, dogs like Rapunzel will be able to hit the ground running as they strive to not only be man's best friend, but man's best defense.
