ABOUT
​
Telluride Avalanche Dogs play a unique and vital role in mountain rescue and safety education efforts in the Telluride community.
​
Our organization is dedicated to providing financial and foundational support for Telluride's hardworking avalanche dogs.
Telluride Avalanche Dogs are trained to perform under pressure in rescue situations, providing a fast and effective means of locating buried avalanche victims - often faster and more effectively than their human counterparts.
