K-9 Search and Rescue (SAR) empowers me to use my skills as a volunteer First Responder and deploy at the will of State Police and local agencies to find and recover missing persons in wilderness, water and urban rubble. 14 years of extensive training enables me and my certified SAR K-9 partners, Asa and Ryder to play a part in the recovery of missing children, Alzheimer's patients and at risk persons. Ryder is also a certified Therapy K-9 which enables him to offer solace during a search.
