This weekend, @vcairunit hosted 16 CARDA members from across the state, alongside @vcsok9unit, to offer two days of helicopter safety training including cold and hot loads.

The air unit members were amazingly patient and helped create a positive experience for even the most cautious K9s ...and humans! We gave back (just a tiny bit) by demonstrating how to make an emergency K9 muzzle with a leash, rope, or gauze.

It was truly a pleasure working with them and we’re so grateful for their time.

K9 Marlow is four months old and just beginning his journey as a trailing prospect with CARDA! We can’t wait to see how this little guy grows.

Join us in congratulating Kim and K9 River for passing their mission-ready test and becoming a certified trailing team with CARDA! Well done, you two 🐶🧡

For the past two decades, we’ve partnered with California’s Office of Emergency Services to support hundreds of searches for missing people across the state every year. Learn more about our mutual aid search operations with @cal_oes on our website (link in profile).

Watch K9 Lance and his handler, Jess, rock their avalanche mission-ready test! Congratulations, you two - super well done.

In the past weeks, dozens of CARDA members have traveled thousands of miles to help with major searches around the state. Missing people and their families are NEVER charged for the services we provide. That means, to keep doing what we’re doing, we rely on donations from the public like you.

Kudos to Jackson and K9 Cal for passing their mission-ready test and becoming a certified area team! We’re looking forward to seeing you two in the field.

Join us in congratulating Jess and K9 Lance for passing their human remains detection test! They are now a certified trailing and HRD team with CARDA.
