Mission
Mid-South Search & Rescue Dog Association
MSSARDA is a non-profit volunteer group. Members are responsible for all costs of their training, equipment, and care of their canine. Established in 2007, MSSARDA evolved from a regional chapter of the Tennessee Search & Rescue Dog Association. All Mission-Ready K-9 Teams have met the requirements and been certified through the National Association for Search & Rescue (NASAR), and often other respected agencies as well.
