GET INVOLVED!!
We are always on the look-out for just the right person to join our team. And there are other things to do besides dog handling.
FLANKER:
Team personnel who are deployed alongside K9/handler teams. They are an essential resource to the SAR mission as they serve as expert navigators, clue finders, radio operators, and scribes. They also assist with patient assessments and treatment, and are second pair of eyes and ears to the K9/handler team. Flankers are trained to be proficient land searchers which includes, knowledge and experience in navigation (map and compass), GPS, wilderness first aid, CPR, wilderness survival, incident command system, crime scene preservation, clue awareness, lost person behavior, and other aspects of SAR fundamentals. By the time a flanker is qualified to be in the field, they will have personally acquired their “field ready” pack to self-sustain for 24 to 48 hours.

SUBJECTS:
If you just love to play with dogs and be around dogs or if you just want to come and see what we do and help us out at the occasional training, we are always looking for new people to hide for our dogs. It's like a game of hide and seek. You hide and when the dog finds you, you have a big fun play session to reward our dogs. Volunteering your time in this way is invaluable to our dogs training, who need to learn to find all types of people. If you are interested in spending a day out in the woods with us and playing with dogs, please contact Karen Pardini at Karen@evdogs.org to get the next scheduled date for you to come out.
