POV: you’re a RICSAR team member following K9 Eloise and handler/mom Marjorie to find a missing person in winter wilderness conditions. This was a training exercise, but this is what it’s like to find someone. 💙 #alwaysready #searchandrescue

A year of RICSAR in 60 seconds:

Repeat: all meetings should have dogs!! And plenty of treats for said dogs. 😏

We’re pretty sure K9 Limey was just as excited as the rest of us to see sunshine during training today. Is it spring yet?! ☺️☀️

The Rhode Island Canine Search and Rescue team is very excited to share an update about Toby — or should we say, K-9 Toby. Toby was rescued from a horrific animal hoarding situation in Warwick, where he was kept with many other animals in filthy conditions. The majority of his first few years of life

We’re so proud of K-9 Toby and Matthew for how far they’ve come. It was a treat watching Toby work today! Several of our K-9s are rescues — we love finding diamonds in the rough and watching them SHINE.✨

Thank us later 👋

🎶 Watch us whip, watch us neigh neigh 🎶 Miss Academic sure adds some horsepower to the trailer. Ok we’re done now!

Love is in the air! 🥰 K-9 Limey giving kisses to his friend K-9 Zip’s mom/handler Vicki at our last training. Not only is K-9 Limey a great search dog, he’s also got a heart of gold. 💕 Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💘

We are thinking of Ms. Ellora and her family today. Being DONE with chemo is the best Valentine’s Day present. Thanks to our Warwick Police & fire friends for their beautiful show of support for this brave little girl. #ElloraStrong

Rule # 1: always have fun. Sometimes these K-9s have *too* much fun. 😏 #ricsar #searchandrescue #rhodeisland

Volunteering while volunteering — we are so grateful for our amazing team members! This is awesome! 👏👏

K-9 Diesel is gorgeous — and a little sassy. 😝 We had a great time training today. Despite muddy conditions, all K-9s successfully located our live subject in the woods, with excellent times for each search. As you can see, K9 Diesel was proud of himself for a job well done!

So majestic 😍 look at those happy Tollers!!

Please consider supporting us for 401Gives! Thank you!
