Live near Broome, Tioga, Deleware or Chenago Counties in NY? Do you think you want to join us on our quest so that others may live?
There is no greater feeling then helping to save someone’s life or bring home a missing love one to their family. However, becoming involved in search and rescue and particularly K9 search and rescue is a major commitment.
The majority of people who contact us wanting to become involved with search dogs don’t last beyond the first training session once they see what’s involved. For that reason we require all perspective members to observe at least two training sessions prior to filling out the application and deciding to commit to the team.
While the team does offset some expenses through fund raising, the majority of the costs associated with getting to searches, training, obtaining the required equipment, paying conference fees, etc all fall to the individual team members. Additionally, team members are required to attend the majority of our biweekly training sessions. If you decide to work a dog, you’ll need to receive your training prior to getting a dog for SAR. Most often you will need to get a new puppy specifically for search and rescue rather then using an older pet dog. With dog training you will be expected to train on your own in between the bi weekly training sessions.
