Demonstrations

Please feel free to contact us if you wish to have more information about our growing organization, or would like to volunteer (you don't need to have a dog to help us out!).  We are available for public demonstrations for all age groups that give safety information (how to not get lost in the first place and what to do if you DO get lost so that you increase your chances of staying alive and well!)  For children under the age of about 12, we use the RCMP Hug-A-Tree video and worksheets, for other age groups a talk with demonstrations.  Of course we always bring a dog or two along and demonstrate how dogs use their noses to find (volunteers from your group) in the woods!

Deploying Our Team

Searches for lost or missing persons in this province are under the authority of RCMP, RNC, Parks Canada, and the Canadian Coast Guard.  The deployment of ANY resource on an official search is the choice of the Search Commander/Search Manager in charge of that particular search.  We are still establishing relationships with call-out agencies and the Newfoundland and Labrador Search and Rescue Association. 

SAR dogs are recognized worldwide as a valuable first-response tool in the search for lost and missing persons.  Our team is working toward becoming a usable resource for this province. 

If you have questions about deploying our dogs, you may phone (24 hours):
