As many of you know, every year at Ashwood we help out a local charity/rescue with a Christmas appeal. This year we chosen to help our friends at K9 Search and Rescue NI.

K9 Search and Rescue NI are a professional all-volunteer canine Search and Rescue team that specialize in providing certified area search (live victim) and Victim Recovery canines for coastal, urban, rural and disaster response in Northern Ireland. The Search and Rescue members are highly trained searchers “first” and will deploy on evidence, recovery, and search missions when the specialized skills of our canine teams are required. They collaborate with search teams in NI to provide search and rescue assistance.

​ The K9 Search and Rescue dog teams are trained in air-scent (locating any human in a specific area) live-find and Victim Recovery (body recovery). All handlers are volunteers provide their own dogs and train several times a month. They pay all related expenses for feeding, veterinary care, travel, and purchase of needed equipment themselves.
