K9 Natick is ready for Give Big on May 4-5, 2021: Are you? Give Big is an easy way to support all your favorite local non-profits including King County Search Dogs.
Max, Zula, Natick, Jack, Coulee, Tika, Fritz, Artoo, and all the rest of the KCSD dog noses wish everyone and their dog a happy and healthy 2021.

And while we continue to feel the loss of Carlo, the legacy this partnership leaves behind […]

King County Search Dogs and Seattle Mountain Rescue visited the John Muir School in Redmond earlier this year. They read a story about search dogs as part of a reading promotion program and then did a demonstration where some of the dogs searched for teachers hiding in the playground. Everyone had a good time judging by the many thoughtful thank-you notes the children sent as you can see in the sample below. If you are interested in having King County Search Dogs participate in a program at your school please contact us at info@kcsearchdogs.org. Click here to see more thank you […]
