SEARCHING FOR YOU.........

Mission

K-9 Search and Rescue of Texas (K-9 SAR TX) is a volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation based in Houston, Texas. K-9 SAR TX, through the use of highly trained and tested handlers and their canine partners, provides assistance to local, state and federal agencies in the search for and the recovery of lost and missing persons. In addition, through community education programs, K-9 SAR TX strives to inform the public on how to avoid becoming lost and what to do if it happens.

In Case of an Emergency

If you are confronted with a situation involving a lost or missing person you should CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY. The sooner a search is started the better the chance for survival. K-9 SAR TX will only respond to calls from law enforcement or the responsible local, state or federal agency. With approval from the responsible agency, K-9 SAR TX will assist other search organizations. Our 24-hour emergency call out number is 713-817-2282. Your call will be returned immediately. PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUR EMERGENCY NUMBER UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY! WE DO NOT HAVE ANIMALS FOR ADOPTION. WE DO NOT SEARCH FOR LOST PETS. THANK YOU.

Note to agency users: When requesting the services of a search dog team we recommend that you check to make sure the handler/canine team has been certified to a national standard administered by an independent third party evaluator. The national certifications accepted by K-9 SAR TX are those administered by National Association for Search and Rescue (www.nasar.org), Federal Emergency Management Association (http://www.fema.gov/emergency/usr/caninecert.shtm), International Police Work Dog Association (www.ipwda.org) and North American Police Work Dog Association (www.napwda.com).
