Currently, the team has seven mission ready K9's certified in a variety of search disciplines. Our K9's are often mellow, ordinary family pets until the sound of the pager or the sight of their gear being loaded into a car transform them. Once given their search command, it becomes their handler's duty to ensure the well-being and safety of their partner. These dogs epitomize the descriptor, "Man's Best Friend", as they work tirelessly, in the cold of winter and the heat of summer, day or night, with little regard for themselves. They ask very little in return since their "job" is so important to them. After hours in the field and a successful "find", they are satisfied with a special food treat or play time with whatever is their "best toy ever".
