Alpha Search and Recovery will be hosting a search and rescue canine seminar in Livingston, Texas. We are looking for people to come and hide for the search dogs while they are training and for certification. These volunteers will need to be able to commit to at least 5 hours, and be willing to run, walk, and hide from the dogs in all different types of scenarios. When found by the dog, they should be willing to play with the dog per the handlers instructions or offer the dog it's treat reward. It is a lot of fun and a unique experience to help these dogs out!
We can't do it without amazing volunteers like you! Volunteers allow our canines to certify on a national level as a search dog. These certifications are required in order to go out and assist in search and recovery of a missing person. But it is more than that. You get to play with the dogs too!
A confirmation email will be sent after sign-up to confirm your volunteer slot. A waiver will be attached. All students under 16 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult during their volunteer time.
