About Us

DORSET SEARCH DOGS is a charity assisting the Police, Coastguard and other Search and Rescue teams look for missing persons across the South.

We rely on generous donations from members of the public and local companies to survive. Please support the work we do and help us to help others by clicking on the donate button at the top, or at the bottom of each page.

Our dedicated team of dogs, handlers and operational supports make themselves available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As members of Lowland Rescue we work closely with neighbouring Lowland Rescue Search Dog teams.

Our members are all trained to levels specified by Lowland Rescue and each dog and handler is individually assessed to the high standards agreed by the Lowland Rescue Committee.
