Rhode Island Canine Search and Rescue is currently searching for new members. Please check our SAR Application page for details. |
Our Search dogs are utilized in emergency situations involving wilderness settings to help locate missing persons, such as a lost hiker, an alzeimers patient who wonders off, or anyone else who finds themselves lost in a woodland setting. Some of our SAR dogs are also used for cadaver search. In a wilderness search where a person is missing in a general area with no known particular "place last seen," the search area is commonly divided up into sectors and then each sector is covered by working the dog back and forth across the area and into the wind. This is the ideal situation, but often this simple approach isn't workable and that's where the experience and resourcefulness of the dog/handler become very important. Rhode Island Canine Search and Rescue, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to local, state, and federal law enforcement, as well as other public service agencies.
