Asking for a friend.
A huge shout out to the NSDA! This amazing collection of handlers, trainers and dogs provide such a tremendous service. Countless families are provided closure and relief through their dedication and hard work.
Do you have a dog in your life? Share a photo of them in the comments section so we can give these amazing canines their flowers!
Can anyone tell me how to get started? I'm wanting to get my pup trained for cadaver searches. She starts her obedience class next month. Thank you in advance!
Today's podcast release!
Excited to listen in on this podcast episode- so proud to be a part of it!!!
Congratulations to Chris and K9 Makalu for recertifying with NSDA this weekend! You two are a huge asset to both CSD and the State of Washington!
Good luck to all the teams testing this weekend with NSDA!
National certifications are an important part of becoming an operational SAR team and we appreciate all of the volunteer hours from the teams who are testing, those who are hiding and helping and those who are evaluating.
My email, [email protected] interested in evaluation
One of our NSDA members and also one of SPARTs (Washington State) busiest members had a very busy 6/16. In the morning Dena and K9 Chika located the remains of a missing person - helping to bring some closure to that family. In the afternoon, Dena and K9 Remi found a hiker, lost for 4 days, near Mt Teneriffe. The subject, Dena, and Remi, were flown out to safety by KCSO’s Guardian 2 helicopter. Huge congrats and thank you to Dena, Remi, and Chika for your very successful day! Thanks as well to all the other KCSARA members for their response and support.

We are proud of the many "in kind" donations we have made to causes such as: NSDA, Mennonite Central Committee - MCC through the hamburg mennonite relief sale, Old South Community Organization (OSCO) through The Gathering On The Green silent auction donations, LEADS Employment Services through Pawlooza Silent Auction Donations Ontario Hooking Craft Guild/ OHCG Reimagine Co and more.

MadMatters does our best to support Canadian artists like , Erica Dornbusch, Andrew Lewis Cathy Horvath Buchanan SoloWorkStudio Art Mary Mitchell Greenlees Teresa Linker SimoneVojvodin by sharing posts and information about their work and by making referrals when we're on the road and people ask us for recommendations. We only recommend those whose talent and work ethic we have experienced personally and respect.

We rely on you to do the same for us. Our future depends on it.
