Hudson Mohawk Search and Rescue

Who we are:

K9 Unit

What we do:

The HuMSAR K-9 Unit is a sub-group within Hudson-Mohawk SAR Team. HuMSAR’s K-9 Unit is a wilderness rescue tool dedicated to finding lost subjects and saving lives using trained and certified handler/dog teams in conjunction with the HuMSAR Team Organization, functioning under the authority of jurisdictional agencies.

The K9 Unit specializes in Live Find Air-Scent and Cadaver, so our dogs are certified in either or both.

The K9 Unit will only accept K9 Handler applicants that are current members of the SAR Team, that have all applicable Advanced training completed and with the experience of at least three actual searches with our Team.  All HuMSAR members are eligible to flank Handler/K9 teams once they have received the applicable training.
