Central Piedmont Search and Rescue's K-9 teams need Your help this year.
They are a not for profit group compiled of volunteer members in the piedmont area of North Carolina. Most of the K9's with CPSAR are rescue dogs themselves. The dogs were selected from shelters in both Rowan and Cabarrus county. The dogs were selected on specific characteristics that we as K9 handlers look for in a potential working dog. The dogs all live with their handlers as a family member first and foremost. They recieve all training by their own handlers that is necessary for them to flourish as a canine good citizen and as a skilled Search dog when called upon.
CPSAR is not government funded and is a not for profit group, 501(c) 3. Funds are low this year and without your support and donations, CPSAR wouldn't be able to continue the free services they offer to the community and other agencies. As a volunteer group, the educational seminars, training aids and certifications, are paid for by the K9 handlers with their own personal funds.
This year, two K9 teams are registered to attend Western Carolina Cadaver Dog Level 1 and Level 2 workshop in May. One team attended WCU last year and paid with their personal funds. Two teams are also registered to attend NC Canine Emergency Reponse Team Human Remains Detection workshop in April. One team attended that workshop last year and paid with personal funds. The workshops and educational seminars are between $300 and $400 per team and that does not include travel or lodging expenses.
This educational and hands on training is vital to the teams and what they offer to the community and other agencies needing assistance. These specialized dogs are basically like forensic sniffers and you can help them and their handlers better their abilities to save lives and bring closure to families. Your donations are completely tax deductible. You can donate here or through Paypal on the team website.
