Where do search and rescue dogs work?

They work where they are needed. Search and rescue dogs are trained to handle many kinds of transportation and can even be transported by helicopter and raised and lowered in harnesses. In a disaster, SAR (Search And Rescue) dogs go where they are needed, anywhere in the world.

Some are specially trained to find and recover people buried in avalanches. Others do the same for people buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings. Some find missing people lost in deserts or wilderness. Some detect bodies of missing people, even when they are submerged under water.
