Flight For Life assists search and rescue agencies by offering services such as aerial search support and avalanche rescue programs.

K-9 Search and Rescue Team Inc., of Dolores, has paired with Flight For Life for many years to ensure that canine and human teammates are receiving the most up-to-date training and are familiar with the helicopters that they may use in an emergency.

K-9 Search and Rescue has provided services for 31 years. The Team is composed of volunteers and needs local K-9 handlers.

If you enjoy the outdoors and are interested in forming a working relationship with a K-9 partner, consider volunteering. You don’t need prior experience a current canine partner. For information, visit the team’s website at www.k9team.org, or call 970-882-4746.
