This year, Hampshire Search & Rescue Dogs attended 78 incidents, working tirelessly to help those in need.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers, their supportive families and friends and our fellow rescue teams who assisted us. Happy New Year.

Team training with @HSARDogs on Sunday. A happy boy.

On Saturday we were pleased to meet up with Kev & @SearchDogRusty to have a look at his @ineos_grenadier from @OpsesUK. It certainly generated a lot of discussion within the team 🤔

Today it's the turn of one of our 4 legged volunteers to take the stage. @SearchDogRusty is one of our operational search dogs. In just a year of being qualified he has racked up 47 deployments. Rusty actually prefers a cuddle over a toy to reward #VolunteersWeek2021

Rusty has now been with us for a year. He is coming on really well. Thanks to soo much support from you our followers and a fantastic grant last year from @Denplan @SimplyhealthUK which has really assisted with the financial burden of training a SAR dog.

A really important new project within @HSARDogs that will provide support to many of our colleagues alongside @mindbluelight https://t.co/SX5YB3HPlE

[HSARDogs @HSARDogs]

On Friday our Medical Lead @MedicSJE gave a presentation at the UKSAR conference covering his work with @mindbluelight to support volunteers within Search & Rescue who regularly deal with truama. There will be many updates on his role over the coming months. https://t.co/3ZsOk47arE

Today I let @SearchDogRusty run alongside Zak on an area. An interesting session for the little guy next to the big fella. So much to learn.

A clip of @SearchDogRusty at training today. I think my excited voice was too much for Rusty to start with.

[Search Dogs Zak & Rusty @SearchDogZak]

Zak, @SearchDogRusty and I would like to wish all our friends and followers a very Merry Christmas. We have had a fantastic year thanks to some great support by many, thank you. 2018 will have challenges but we are ready for them together.

Our team festive dinner on Sunday allowed our Chair to present area dog handler Pam with her 10 years’ service memento - a decade of searching for vulnerable missing people across Hampshire & beyond. Thank you Pam for all your hours of volunteering.

Dad took this little dude for a walk at @HSARDogs training. Defo not a Springer @SearchDogRusty

Here’s L1 trainee @SearchDogRusty on his runaways. Handler Kev gets him excited to search and then he runs off, finds Steve and is rewarded with playtime.
