Can Anyone Join?
Yes! If you are 18 or above, there is a spot for all skills and talents. Team positions include Search Responder, K9 Handler, and Auxillary Member.
Is There a Fee for Services?
No. There are no fees as services are provided by our all-volunteer team.
Donations are always accepted, but never expected.
Does Weather Affect Services?
NWPAK9SAR responds in all types of weather. However, searches may be temporarily suspended if weather jeopardizes the safety of responders.
When Should You Call for Help?
As soon as possible! Search areas rapidly expand the longer a person is missing, and scent can be drastically affected by time and weather.
