Pre-Emergency Planning

If you are responsible for organizing and providing Search & Rescue services, please contact us. We will gladly meet with your organization and brief you on general aspects of Canine Search & Rescue, our Team’s capabilities, and demonstrate our Canines’ capabilities. You are invited to attend our training sessions to observe our Canine Teams. Our training schedule is available to the public on our website, www.searchdogs.org, but we ask that you please call before attending so that we know to expect your arrival.
