Beyond Deployments

Serving Our Neighbors

505 SAR Dogs is more than a deployment-ready K9 search and rescue team — we are a community resource. Our handlers and dogs participate in outreach events, school programs, and public education across Central New Mexico to help our neighbors stay safer in the outdoors and to demystify the work that K9 SAR teams do.

If your school, scout troop, civic group, or organization would like to schedule a presentation or demonstration, we would love to hear from you.

School Programs

Age-appropriate presentations about wilderness safety, what to do if you get lost, and how SAR dogs find people.

Civic and Scout Groups

Demonstrations and Q&A sessions for clubs, scouts, and community organizations interested in K9 SAR work.

Outdoor Safety

Tips for hiking, camping, and recreating responsibly across New Mexico’s mountains, mesas, and high desert.
