Our Searches
SRD K9s is a volunteer organization whose core function is the ongoing search for missing persons in British Columbia.
SRD K9 teams train daily so that when called upon they can deploy to search areas of interest in missing person cases, typically this is done once the authorities have completed their investigation. SRD K9s is a not-for-profit society that relies on the support from our community. Our teams volunteer their time and resources to keep hope alive for the families of the missing.
