| The Kentucky Search Dog Association trains search and rescue dogs to locate missing persons, and we are always looking for new volunteers to help us with our training. If you like dogs and enjoy hiding in unusual places like the woods, under piles of stuff, or even in dumpsters, you should consider volunteering as a victim for our search dog training. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to help our search and rescue dogs hone their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
Fresh faces are essential to our training, so you do not have to commit to coming out every weekend. We need able-bodied people willing to hide for a few hours on the weekends and help us train our search and rescue dogs. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please let us know, and we can provide more information. |
