Statement
To provide service to Law Enforcement Agencies, EMA,
through the use of highly trained search dogs. We will
professionally augment the services of Public Safety agencies in the
location of those lost, missing or
entrapped.
Who We
Are
Midwest Search dogs (MSD) is a non-profit organization
comprised of dog handlers and their K9
partners.
MSD currently has multiple teams that train
exclusively for wilderness and urban rescues or recovery. Our
handlers are not paid for their service, but gladly give their time,
training and dogs as a service to our local, state, and national
community as may be requested.
What Does It Take To Be A Member
of Our Team
Midwest Search Dogs was started by individuals truly
committed to hard work. We expect from a potential member
to be ready to give their time and commitment of an individual
effort to achieve the highest level of training available for both
themselves and their K9 partner.
It
takes 3 to 4 years of intensive training to get a dog and
handler ready to do search and rescue work. This kind of dedication
is characteristic of the core members of MSD. We have dog/handler
teams that are at various stages of their training. We are a
team that believes in keeping training groups small enough to
maintain quality. However, we do take applications from time to
time.
You
will need the outdoor equipment to train year round, and will need
additional equipment when you become mission-ready. You will
need the job flexibility to go on missions and attend specialized
training.
You will
be expected to certify as a team (you and your
K9 partner) through NASAR, IPWDA, NAPWDA,
LETS or The State of Indiana Search and Rescue
Training Center.
