Time for take-off! ✈️
CARDA recently organized a joint training with the @civilairpatrol, who helps with emergency service operations including transporting K9s to searches when needed. This training gave K9 teams with the opportunity to take short flights in small, fixed-wing ...aircrafts, which was a fantastic exposure opportunity for our dogs.
Thanks to the pilots and other CAP members for providing CARDA with this training!
Can you spot the dutch shepherd? 😉
Happy International Dog Day, from our many pups to yours! Give them an extra scratch behind the ear for us.
(Thank you to @searchdogfoundation for providing several of these photos 🧡)
Join us in congratulating Jerry and K9 Zoom for passing their mission-ready test and becoming a certified trailing team with CARDA! Safe searching, you two.
Big news! CARDA trailing K9 Lance and his handler Jess recently located a missing woman on a search in Tuolumne County. With the help of this fantastic team and the support of many agencies from across the state, the woman was safely located two days after she went missing and reunited with her ...family.
This is why we do what we do 🧡 Well done, K9 Lance and Jess.
Join us in congratulating Debra and K9 Huckleberry Punch for passing their human remains detection mission-ready test! Well done, you two 🧡
Join us in congratulating three teams - Donna and K9 Halo, Carol and K9 Majik, and Monica and K9 Jaxson - for passing their water human remains detection tests!
Trained to locate drowned victims, these teams will help sheriff and coroner departments with water recoveries. Huge thank you ...to these six for all they do 🧡
This month CARDA held our annual membership meeting in Los Osos, where we welcomed new members, discussed policies, covered reports from committees, and more. It’s a lot of work from a lot of volunteers to keep this operation running smoothly, and we are so grateful to those who give their time ...and money to help us do so.

Update: Warren has been found safe and uninjured 🧡
This week it’s all hands on deck for the search for missing hiker Warren Elliott in the Rubicon Springs area. Dozens of our K9 teams and 100+ searchers from other agencies are supporting @placer_sheriff. Safe searching, everyone.
