16 Years for Soledad – Honoring a Lifetime of Service
Wind River Grace’s “Soledad” has worked alongside wildlife professionals, educators, and conservation practitioners as a Karelian Bear Dog Wildlife K-9 since she was less than one year old. More than a decade and a half later, Sole has worked throughout North America with all three species of bear: black bears, grizzly bears, & polar bears.
To many of us, Soledad is more than a working dog—she is a conservation icon. Through countless demonstrations, presentations, training events, and Bear Shepherding actions, she has helped inspire people around the world while serving as an ambassador for bears, Karelian Bear Dogs, and other breeds of dog working in the field of wildlife conservation.
Now retired, Soledad spends her days enjoying the quieter side of life. As a senior dog, she faces some of the health challenges that come with age and requires a little more veterinary care, monitoring, and support these days. But her legacy continues through the work of the Wind River Bear Institute and the Wildlife K-9 dogs following in her paw prints.
To celebrate her 16th birthday, we’re launching 16 Years of Soledad with a goal of raising $16,000 in honor of her lifetime of service
Every donation is tax deductible and supports WRBI’s mission to advance the use of Wildlife K-9s to reduce human-wildlife conflict and make the world safer for bears & people.
Whether you contribute $16, $160, or simply share this campaign with a friend, you’re helping continue the work that dogs like Soledad have dedicated their lives to advancing.

GOOD JOB ON THE BEAR, SOLEDAD
