10-42 K9 Search & Rescue

---

 The mission of the 10-42 K9 Search & Rescue Team is to:

• Support mutual aid operations during emergencies and disasters
• Maintain professionally trained K9 and handler resources
• Promote operational readiness and responsible deployment standards
• Assist established agencies and SAR organizations when requested
• Continue advancing the professional standards of working dog operations

 At 10-42 K9, we believe Search & Rescue should be approached professionally, responsibly, and with operational integrity.

All members of our Search & Rescue Team are members of the National Association For Search And Rescue (NASAR).

Our handlers and K9 teams train continuously in areas related to:
• Wilderness Search & Rescue
• Disaster response operations
• K9 search operations
• Incident Command System (ICS) principles
• Emergency communications and coordination
• Operational safety and deployment readiness

Our organization places a strong emphasis on:
✔️ Professionalism
✔️ Continuing education
✔️ Certification standards
✔️ Operational readiness
✔️ Interagency cooperation

 What makes 10-42 K9 unique is our focus on giving former working dogs a second operational purpose.

Many of the dogs within our program come from military, law enforcement, or other high-drive operational backgrounds. Through evaluation, retraining, and structured placement, these dogs are provided an opportunity to continue serving their communities in meaningful ways.

For us, Search & Rescue is more than training. It is about preserving purpose, honoring service, and building a future where exceptional working dogs continue making a difference long after their original mission ends.
