We work hard to not only train our dogs as valuable SAR team members, but to care for them as if they were family! Donations help us keep our dogs happy, healthy, and mission ready! Donations are used for a number of things including bringing guest trainers up to Alaska for workshops, to send ASARD members to workshops outside of Alaska, to purchase and maintain search equipment, team uniforms, educational information and materials for both the public and for the ASARD team. Our team works entirely on a volunteer basis so your donations go directly toward education, training, and maintenance.
