Going to be a great Labor Day Weekend of training…Crisis City in KS with GPSK9s / Great Plains Search and Rescue K9s, Inc. followed by training with Iowa SAR K9 on Sunday and Monday. It’s some overnight windshield time but very worth it!
REMEMBER to get your raffle tickets for our fishing trip fundraiser. See the flyer for details. Thank you!!

Can you believe this AWESOME painting that my friend, fellow K9 Handler, and coworker Sheri Roys made of K9 Ivy? Such a great talent! Thanks again Sheri.

Western Iowa EMS K9 Association finished another great week of training with GPSK9s / Great Plains Search and Rescue K9s, Inc. concentrating on Live Finds and Human Remains Detection. It is so amazing what these highly trained K9's and handlers can accomplish when called upon for service.
We encourage all first responder agencies and the public to be aware of and utilize the services that are available to them when the need arises! It truly can make a difference!
Check out some "action shots" of these amazing K9's!

GPSK9s / Great Plains Search and Rescue K9s, Inc. and Western Iowa EMS K9 Association training along the Arkansas River. I’m waiting for the Live Find K9’s to locate the “missing grandpa”. These K9’s are awesome! See video in comments.
