"Leaving No Stone Unturned"

SWPANSAR would like to thank Judy and Irish Downes for their support as prayer partners. Judy and Irish's grandson inspired our team motto of "Leaving No Stone Unturned" and we will always carry that in our hearts at every search.

Our team members will be forever grateful to our mentor, Brad Dennis, search manager and Director of Search Operations for Klaaskids Foundation. He shared with us not only his knowledge but his passion for K9 Search & Rescue work. He will always be loved and hold a special place in our hearts.

SWPANSAR would like to thank Sarah Elhoffer for her continued support at Sierra-Echo Aussies. She is a local breeder of champion Australian Shepherds in Milton, FL. Sarah takes great care in her breeding process and has provided us with three excellent SAR dogs in;

Sirius, Vision and Hemi

SWPANSAR would like to thank Rebecca Millsaps of Lenoir City, TN. Rebecca is a breeder of Australian Shepherds at Gemmell Australian Shepherds and provided Rocket to one of our K-9 handlers two years ago. Rocket is now a NASAR certified air scenting search and rescue dog.

SWPANSAR would like to thank Georgie Blackburn. She was entrusted with an aussie from Shell Bluff Kennels to breed. Georgie was kind enough to provide a lively energetic pup to one of our K-9 handlers and Sarah Elhoffer was more than happy to help in the exchange. Zeta is now in training to become a NASAR certified search and rescue dog.

SWPANSAR would like to Carolyn Whitman of Orange Beach, AL. Carolyn donated her time making K9 cooling vests for our team. The K9 cooling vests hold ice packs which allow the K9's to work in the heat and humidity. They are an absolute necessity in the summertime. We will always appreciate Carolyn's hard work when we suit up our K9's.

SWPANSAR would like to thank the Ron and Denise Chenoweth family from outside Chicago, Illinois. They are breeders of Vizslas and provided Shiloh to a member of the SWPANSAR Emotional First Aid Team. Shiloh is a very laid back Vizsla and is in training as a therapy dog to provide comfort to families and friends.

SWPANSAR would like to thank Blakeley State Park for supporting our team. The park is filled with nature trails, historic battle sites, and campgrounds. Take a ride on the Delta Explorer and see the Tensaw Delta. Our team enjoys the beauty every time we set up a mock search or practice scenario on their miles of trails or open fields.
