They are your neighbors,
your friends, strangers. They leave their families,
their jobs, and their homes, to help those in need. On a
moments notice they disrupt their lives and many times
put themselves in harms way.
They are
volunteers...!! Search and Rescue People spend hundreds
of hours training to assist you in your time of need.
They spend thousands of dollars to assist total
strangers, never asking for anything.
No, the Government does
not pay them or supply the dogs that have saved lives or
brought closure to many families.
These dogs and their
handlers train for what they hope will never come. You
see them on the news "the sniffer dogs" Years of
training and thousands of dollars go into the
preparation of these dogs and handlers, all in the hope
that they will never need to use the skills they train
so diligently to learn, to assist you in your time of
need.
After returning from the
World Trade Center attacks of 9/11, my beloved K9
partner Anna became ill and was unable to continue her
work as a search and rescue dog. Through the generosity
of the community, over 700 elementary school children,
their parents, and other caring citizens of the United
States, much needed funds were raised to obtain my
current K-9 partner Tango. It is with great appreciation
of this selfless act in mind, that I founded the Search
and Rescue Dog Foundation, Inc. This non-profit was
established to assist volunteer K-9 handlers with grant
money to replace retiring, ill, or deceased search dogs.
Please consider helping
these heroic K-9's and their handlers. Your generosity
is greatly appreciated.
