Us - What We Do |

The use of Dogs for search
and rescue is not new. Specially trained dogs have been
used across the world for decades. These dogs have been
successful in searching for victims trapped in rubble
created by earthquakes or explosions, Alzheimer's patients
who have wandered away, children who have become lost, victims
of boating accidents, or evidence in criminal cases.
Although specializing in Land and Water Cadaver, Trailing, and
First Responder Disaster, ISARD dogs have trained in all
the following specialty areas: |
| WILDERNESS
dog/handler teams are specially trained to locate victims who
become lost such as hunters, hikers, children, campers, the
elderly, or mentally disabled.
WATER search dogs
can work from the shore or from a boat and will alert to scent
rising from a submerged body.
TRACKING/TRAILING
dogs are specially trained K-9s that are particularly useful
when a last known location has been established for the victim.
EVIDENCE
dog/handler teams assist law enforcement in locating evidence
such as shell casings, guns, knives, etc.
CADAVER dogs are
specially trained to locate and indicate on bodies and body
parts. These dogs can be used to locate surface remains,
clandestine graves, or victims of natural or man made disasters. |

DISASTER/CADASTER
trained dogs bark and dig at the location of the victim hidden
beneath rubble from earthquakes, explosions, tornadoes,
mudslides, flooding, etc. Cadaster is a new specialty
where the K-9 locates human remains in disaster environments.
AVALANCHE
dog/handler teams are trained to help locate individuals who
have been buried under snow during an avalanche.
