Dorset Search Dogs

Welcome

DORSET SEARCH DOGS is a non-profit voluntary organisation assisting the Police, Coastguard and other Search and Rescue teams look for missing persons across the South.

We rely on generous donations from members of the public and local companies to survive. Please support the work we do and help us to help others by clicking on the donate paw to the left of this screen.

Our dedicated team of dogs, handlers and operational supports make themselves available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As members of Lowland Search Dogs we work closely with neighbouring Search Dog teams and the Association of Lowland Search and Rescue (ALSAR) teams.

Our members are all trained to levels specified by ALSAR and each dog and handler is individually assessed to the high standards agreed by the Lowland Search Dogs Committee.
