OUR MINE DOG

Our commitment to social responsibility extends beyond our innovative products,
as we actively seek opportunities to contribute to meaningful causes.

At Squarehead we develop products that help secure assets and livelihoods. We are continuously adding more colleagues who contribute to this important work, and we have topped the team by hiring a mine dog!

Norwegian People’s Aid (Norsk Folkehjelp) is among the world’s largest demining organizations. They have removed more than two million landmines, in over 40 countries. Now they are facing one of their biggest tasks - cleaning up Ukraine.

For every mine the dog finds, a life is saved. A mine dog can find a mine up to 20 times faster than a human using a metal detector can.

Norwegian People’s Aid has been training mine dogs for over 20 years. Over these years there has never been an accident with any of their mine dogs in the field, so these dogs have a long lifespan. They often work until they are 8-9 years old, before they retire and are adopted by those who want to take care of a dog that needs to rest after long and loyal service. Our new furry colleague will surely help save lives.

They are now expecting a litter of Malinois puppies at Norwegian People’s Aid’s training center in Sarajevo, and one of these will be a Squarehead employee. That means that we will pay for the fostering and training of this dog, until it is retired. He/she will be trained to search for these dangerous landmines, before he/she is sent to help clean Ukraine.

We invite you to join us on this journey as we provide updates and share the progress of our extraordinary four-legged colleague. Together, we can make a real impact and demonstrate the power of social responsibility in safeguarding lives and securing a brighter future.
