Mid-Atlantic DOGS mission:
* To provide, as a benefit to the public, upon request of any official agency, dog and handler teams trained for search and rescue (SAR) of persons lost, trapped, incapacitated or drowned, day or night, under any and all conditions where dogs can efficiently operate.
* To provide continuing training and education for the dogs; their handlers and support personnel
; to improve and develop capabilities to ensure competent and capable search teams and operations.
* To promote greater appreciation of SAR resources. We do NOT chase bad guys, look for people with guns, respond to family requests (requests through law enforcement agencies only, please). We do NOT search for missing pets! NOTE: Search operations are law enforcement investigations which can result in criminal investigations and prosecution . Since posts to social media, including this site, could result in unauthorized release of information, it is the policy of Mid-Atlantic DOGS to not post any search related information with the exception of links to official news reports.
