Kentucky Search Dog Association was established  in 1988.  The team provides a valuable resource to the State of Kentucky and the surrounding states as an aid in search and location of lost persons, victims of natural or man-made disasters, and evidence detection. 

We deploy our canines trained Live-Find Wilderness Search, Scent-Specific Tracking/Trailing Search, Human Remains Detection, Evidence Detection, and Water Recoveries/Disasters.

As is the case with all Search & Rescue units throughout the State of Kentucky, we will assist Local, State, and Federal Agencies with Search/Rescue and Recovery services for those that are in need of our team.

The Kentucky Search Dog Association is 100% Volunteer non-profit organization that is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  We have been deployed for searches in Kentucky, and out of state for lost persons on land and water, and to assist Law Enforcement agencies.

We currently have ten certified canines that are available in the State of Kentucky ,  five of which are Nationally Certified with  the American Working Police Dog Association in Cadaver, Trailing, SAR, Obedience and Article Search.

In addition the team also has two handlers, and two canine that are certified as FEMA Disaster Teams.
