Charity Search and Rescue

Date: 6/11/2011
Today, 100 people are missing in Ireland. These persons are someone’s mother, father, son, daughter, wife, husband, friend, co-worker or neighbor. Many have been missing multiple years. A trained Search Dog can greatly improve the probability of finding a living missing person before they ultimately end up missing for years.

Trained Search Dogs show human searchers where
a deceased person is buried underground or what area of
a lake, river or coastal area a drowned victim is likely located. Utilizing especially
trained dogs will decrease the time in finding a Missing Person, hence ending a family’s torment by returning their loved one back to them.
