About HDK9SAR
High Desert K9 SAR (HDK9SAR) was created in early 2019 by four handlers of certified field ready airscent K9s. These teams are now working on their next goal which is to be mission ready for human remains. The background knowledge and training of the handlers varies. Some of us have been in search and rescue for at least ten years and others a bit less. HDK9 has an EMT, a Registered Nurse, an Ops and Plans Section Chief and a Training Director with NMSARC. We have all been on searches and have extensive knowledge on the workings of a search so that those in need have a chance to live and/or are brought home to their families.
In addition to our K9 teams, we have non-operational positions. One such position our discipline and obedience mentor. This member’s experience and knowledge in well-behaved dogs is invaluable to our team as we need well mannered K9s not only in the field during searches, but in all aspects of their lives. We also have interested candidates that are very excited to learn about SAR and K9 training. We are expanding our team membership in both operational and non-operational positions.
The other exciting aspects of our team lay in building up our webpage, fundraising and trainings both in state and out of state. And, we offer inter-team practices and trainings with our surrounding SAR friends. HDK9 is ready to be called upon for searches and thank you for allowing us to serve our community.
