Southwest Search Dogs
(SWSD) is a volunteer K-9 Search and Rescue group, affiliated with the San Diego Police Department and the Chula Vista Police Department. SWSD offers professional K-9 teams, certified in Area Search, Trailing, Cadaver, Water, and Basic Urban Disaster, at no cost to the requesting agency. Response time in the greater San Diego area is typically under 40 minutes and initial teams are usually deployed within one hour of the callout. For more information, including our toll-free, 24/7 emergency callout number, contact info@southwestsearchdogs.org.
Thanks to a wonderful donation from the employees at Northrop-Grumman, we were able to do an important upgrade to our safety equipment. We so much appreciate the continuing support!
SWSD is grateful for a grant from Becton Dickinson which will enable us to put on another seminar for our handlers. The grant is in recognition of one of our handlers winning the 2010 BD Henry P. Becton Volunteer Impact Award for her volunteer work with our organization. The letter states, "BD is proud to recognize Amy's efforts and dedication to your group." We're pleased and proud too. Thanks, Becton Dickinson!
