THE GOOD DOGS ALWAYS WEAR WHITE
Our
friendly Snow Dog mascot greets you at Jeep®
display at the show entrance. A remarkable pure white female
German Shepherd, named "Shasta" carries a “badge” and is looking
to rescue hikers, skiers or snowboarders in distress. This
amazing animal is a K9 member of the California Rescue Dogs
Association, Lake Tahoe Avalanche Rescue Association and
Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dogs Association and is being
trained to locate lost or missing people in and around the
mountains of California.
Shasta learned to ride the
chairlifts and can be air-lifted to remote areas by helicopter to
search for lost hikers, snowboarders and skiers. But, mostly,
Shasta enjoys racing down ski runs following her owner, playing
with the kids and adults during Ski School breaks, and as a member
of the Ski Patrol, joyriding in helicopters and snowcats.
Rick Strasser, is Shasta’s owner
and trainer, and has been a member of various emergency and rescue
services for over twenty years. Rick is currently the Commander
of the Kern County Sheriff’s Department Search Canine Unit, a
Canine Specialist for the State of California & The U.S National
Parks Service based in King’s & Kern Counties. Strasser, has been
instrumental in the safe rescue of hundreds of careless or unlucky
hikers, winter sport enthusiasts, lost children… and adults.
Shasta
and Rick personally welcome
show attendees, demonstrating how these canine heroes (& their
trainers!) safeguard our lives and quickly capture our hearts.
Come meet our Official Snow Dog mascot Shasta at the
Jeep® Dealers Display at the Main Entrance of the
show.
