    "Scent and Service" with Jensen Huffman (C.H.A.I.S.)

    Send a text In this powerful episode of the PNWMPP Podcast, host Tanner Hoskins sits down with his good friend and elite K9 handler Jensen Huffman — owner of Huffman K9 Obedience and Executive Director of CHAIS (Charon Human Advocacy and Intervention Services). With more than 20 years of experience training and deploying working dogs across North America, Jensen shares his journey from traditional obedience training to leading a trauma-informed, mission-ready nonprofit changing the face of modern search and rescue. Together, Tanner and Jensen dig deep into the origins of CHAIS, what makes their K9 teams unique, and why emotional intelligence in the field matters just as much as tactical readiness. From hurricane deployments to high-stakes human trafficking recoveries, this conversation pulls no punches — tackling tough topics like human trafficking, disaster deployments, self-deploying, and SAR volunteer fitness. You'll hear about the unforgettable tracks of K9s Jax and Blue, the pivotal Anthony Mancuso case, and why specialized training at TEEX could be a game-changer for CHAIS’s disaster response capabilities. This is more than a podcast episode — it's a call to action to support CHAIS and their mission. The world needs more nonprofits like CHAIS. If you care about search and rescue, trauma-informed care, and the bond between handlers and heroic K9s — don’t miss this one. 🎧 Listen now and learn how you can support CHAIS’s mission at chaisinc.org.
