When someone goes missing in the wilderness or disaster strikes our community, every second counts. Our canine search team is made up of dedicated volunteers who drop everything to bring people home safely. Working at the behest of law enforcement, we respond when agency's need specialized canine air scent search capabilities. We are looking for committed individuals who want to make a real difference when it matters most. You do not need prior experience - just a willingness to learn, physical fitness, and the determination to work with a team to help others in their darkest hours. We provide comprehensive training in wilderness navigation, search theory, canine training, canine handling, and emergency response to ensure you are prepared when the call comes. 

Whether you are bushwhacking through rugged terrain at dawn with your 4 legged partner or providing critical support during search operations, you will be part of a tight knit team that relies on each other to complete the mission. Responding to calls requires sacrifice, and often happens in challenging conditions, but the reward of bringing families closure is immeasurable.

If you are ready to push yourself, learn invaluable skills, work alongside incredible search dogs, and become someone your community can count on in an emergency, we want to hear from you!
