What a great weekend of training! 🐾🍂

The team had such a great time at the 2026 State Training Weekend at Camp Cottaquilla. We’re heading home with tired dogs and lots of new things to take back to our team.

A huge thank you to North Alabama Search Dog Association for hosting and creating such a welcoming learning environment. We’re grateful for the time, effort, and knowledge that went into making this weekend possible.

It’s always awesome getting to train alongside other teams, learn from experienced handlers, and share ideas with people who are just as passionate about this work as we are. Thank you to all of our instructors!

Thank you to everyone who made the weekend such a great experience. Special shoutout to our hiders!

Keep an eye out — we’ll be sharing some pictures of our dogs putting in the work! 🐕‍🦺📸

Apparently even search dogs need a night off!

SARTEC K9 traded training fields and search areas for the ballpark and spent the evening enjoying a Rocket City Trash Pandas game! No clues to find, no areas to clear, no one to track down — just baseball, ballpark food, and some much-deserved time together as a team.

Thanks, Rocket City Trash Pandas , for a great night at the ballpark!

We’re excited to kick off a new series introducing you to the incredible K9 teams behind SARTEC K-9 Search & Rescue!

Our dogs and their handlers put countless hours into training, building skills, and preparing to respond when their community needs them. But there’s a lot more to these teams than what you see when they’re working a search or out at training.

First up is K9 Moxie and her handler, Danielle!

Check out their spotlight to learn a little more about Moxie, Danielle, and what they enjoy when the search gear comes off.

Keep an eye on our page as we introduce more of the K9s and handlers who make up the SARTEC K-9 family! 💚🐾

Come learn more about search and rescue while getting a behind-the-scenes look at how our K9 teams train. Volunteers will have the fun job of hiding for the dogs to find! 🐕‍🦺

We are also looking for a group to volunteer in Anniston, AL September 26-27 for a state wide training. Message us if you know of a group in that area.

What do we do on our off days??? Train of course. Yes we search for missing people, but canine manners matter. A few of us around town practicing in different surroundings with different distractions.
