In search and rescue, our dogs are not just tools— they are family and their safety is top priority! Often we search in rugged terrain, extreme conditions, and high risk environments. That’s why our handlers carry their own K9 MEDKIT from 🐶

⛑️ These are valuable first aid kits designed specially for dogs with over 90 plus critical care items. What we like—it carries all medical essentials organized in a light durable pack. We also love the orange pack design 🧡 So if you are a first responder and have a working dog, check out various packs fit for your need. It’s the BEST gear to have! Made in the USA 🇺🇸

Thank you, Dogworx gear

While most people are sleeping, our team is training. When a call comes in the middle of the night, there’s no time to figure things out…. We have to be ready! Night searches bring unique challenges with limited visibility, increased safety risks and difficult terrain, especially ice and snow.

Last night we practiced using our night vision equipment, search tactics, including cadaver, communication, and K9 obedient training. The dogs worked hard and showed strong skills.

~This training was dedicated in memory of K9 Sasha with a presentation of memorial plaques to handler Chief Yohnnson. K9 Sasha will always be part of our team and in our hearts ❤️ EOW 12-28-25.

Equipment check day. Our team spent time going over our search equipment, practicing setups, and reviewing protocols to make sure we’re ready when someone needs us. Preparation saves time—and in a search, time matters. We never stop when lives depend on us!

“Training. Training is what you do to make yourself better, to make yourself prepared, to make yourself ready. Ready for the call for the person or persons who need help. The call that could come at any time….” Chief Yohnnson

*** A huge thank you to Cori for organizing a fundraiser and donating to our Search and Rescue team. Her generosity directly supports our K9 teams training, and mission readiness. Every dollar helps us become faster, safer, and more effective in searches. We are incredibly grateful!

True words!

Today was a great in house training. Too cold to be out in the woods- safety first, with temps as low as they are and blustery winds, makes for a dangerous outdoor training.

We had our Captain do a refresher class of “Stop The Bleed”, also Chief went over Radio’s and Radio Communication. Lastly- Engineer went over the safety & logistics of the Chief Vehicle.

Always keeping current and moving forward with Training despite Mother Nature.

Thank you wholeheartedly to Stafford EMS for use of their building today and their continued support for our K9 dept.
