K9's For Freedom & Independence A Working Dog Organization

We train rescued dogs and donated dogs as Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) K9s for 1st Responder Agencies across the US.

Our K9s are trained to Public Safety Industry Standards that mitigate liability to the agency. We take shelter dogs and train them as Critical Incident Response Team K9's (CIRT K9). We also take high drive shelter dogs and turn them into detection dogs for Police, Fire, Government agencies.

We are asking possible attendees to this years Critical Incident Response K9 Seminar to fill out the short survey to see who is planning on coming.
We understand that agencies are slow to get the actual registration done.

So I tried the experiment too!

Azalea, aka Doobie getting cleaned up for our flight tomorrow to meet her new agency. She will be coming home with me in a couple days to finish off her training prior to being permanently paired in June. I'd like to thank the agency for covering the cost of this meet and greet prior to pairing as this is not something that we normally do.
As soon as we get the go ahead, we will let everyone know what agency she is actually going to be placed with.
