We currently sponsor nine search and rescue teams across the UK. The dogs are trained in techniques that enable them to locate people who are in need of their help and support in the rescue:

SARDA Wales dog handlers are all volunteers who dedicate a considerable amount of time to developing skills with their dog. Most of their dog handlers are members of Mountain Rescue, Lowland Rescue or HM Coastguard Search and Rescue Teams.
Capital SAR Dogs is a search and rescue team consisting of four dogs and headed up by Jim Gilbert. Each dog is trained in a specialised type of search.
