The program, which is “known worldwide for its excellence,” is looking to purchase detector dogs to work alongside CBSA officers to protect Canada’s borders.

More specifically, they’re hiring healthy, young dogs that need a new home and are up for a challenge. The furry candidates cannot be shy, timid or aggressive and must have a strong character, as well as great focus and agility.

Hunting breeds like Labrador retrievers, springer spaniels, golden retrievers, Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers or beagles are preferred.
