The K9 roles explained
Medical Alert Dogs
A medical alert dog is a highly trained service K9's that detect changes in a person’s health, such as seizures, blood sugar fluctuations, or fluid buildup, before they become dangerous. For children with disabilities, these K9's provide life-saving support, allowing them to attend school safely and participate in everyday activities with confidence. By alerting caregivers, teachers, or the child themselves to medical emergencies, these dogs help ensure that children with complex health needs can stay in education, remain independent, and experience a fuller, more inclusive life.
Anti-Poaching
Anti-poaching K9's play a critical role in protecting wildlife by using their powerful noses to detect hidden snares before animals get caught, preventing slow and painful deaths. These highly trained K9's also track poachers across vast landscapes, following scent trails that human teams would struggle to find. By assisting rangers in locating and apprehending poachers, they help combat illegal wildlife crime, ensuring the safety of endangered species and preserving ecosystems for future generations.
Search and Rescue & HRD
A Search and Rescue (SAR) K9 is trained to locate missing persons in wilderness areas, disaster zones, or urban settings, using their powerful sense of smell to track scent trails over long distances. These K9's are vital in saving lives by finding lost hikers, disaster victims, or vulnerable individuals in need of urgent help. A Human Remains Detection (HRD) dog, on the other hand, is trained to locate deceased individuals, even in challenging environments such as water, rubble, or buried sites. HRD dogs play a crucial role in bringing closure to families and assisting law enforcement in forensic investigations.
