Mission Statement

The Search and Rescue Dog Foundation, a 501 C-3, Non Profit, is an organization designed to assist qualified dog handlers in obtaining replacement search and rescue, or recovery dogs.

We believe a well trained dog/handler team, is an essential service to the community.

We believe that volunteers who make up the majority of the search and rescue community are the individuals whose dedication, work ethic, and selfless acts of bravery improve and provide comfort to the communities they serve.

Given those beliefs, our mission is essential to assist the vital service of the search and rescue/recovery community across the United States in remaining active, strong, and well-staffed, by providing funds for replacement dogs to qualified (any handler/K9 team utilized by or listed on a local state, or federal resource list, confirmed by letter) volunteer handlers.
