Handler-K9 Teams
The Mid-South Search & Rescue Dog Association is comprised of handler-K9 teams that specialize in various disciplines. Mission-ready teams have met all certifications in their respective disciplines and are authorized to respond to call-outs from law enforcement and emergency services agencies. Teams in training are working to gain knowledge and perfect their skills before challenging certification examinations that will confirm their readiness to join the mission-ready crew.
