Base Responder

Base responders are the heart and soul of our search and rescue team. Base responders aren't required to have any experience to join; the leadership of Northwest PA K9 Search and Rescue have years of experience under their belt and use it to train new members of the team. Along with teaching the basics of search and rescue, including navigation and wilderness first aid, additional instructions are also brought in for classroom instruction for CalTopo- our search software program, Mantracking, and for outside certification for the National Association of Search and Rescue. To find out more, we invite you to join a training to get your boots dirty and eyes open to the possibility of a new volunteer career with NWPAK9SAR.
