7 people are interested
Most of our volunteers are dog people! Not PR people. We are looking for a person(s) that loves to lead and manage public relations, special events and fund raising. You need to love dogs as our focus is training people and K9's for search and rescue primarily for Chester County and adjoining areas. You should be familiar with Chester County and want to give back to the community. Familiarity working with and obtaining corporate support as well as grant writing is desired. We are a 501(3)(c) non-profit.
Mostly, we are looking for a dedicated volunteer, with an outgoing and engaging personality who believes in our team and emergency preparedness for their community.
Should you be interested in field work, this volunteer opportunity could include being the Public Information Officer (PIO) for the team as well. When any resources are deployed, this would entail writing press releases, managing any on-site media resources and in general being the face of the organization.
K9 Detection and Search Foundation supports ChesCo Search Dogs.
See our webpage ChesCoSearchDogs.ORG. You can find us on Facebook as well.

About K9 Detection & Search Foundation/ ChesCo Search
Location:
1255 Buck Lane, West Chester, PA 19382, US
Mission Statement
We are an organization focused on canine training with an emphasis on canine scenting capabilities and how those capabilities can be best used to assist humans. We will be a handler/canine training organization first and foremost. We will directly provide resources of a physical nature or monetary nature to support search, rescue, recovery, and medical missions without expectation of reimbursement or compensation with a specific focus upon canine resources. We indirectly support search, rescue, recovery and medical missions by supporting, via monetary resources, training assistance, collaboration or any means available, those organizations that undertake, facilitate, or provide resources for search and rescue missions.
Description
We provide resources to assist Fire/Police with land searches resulting from natural disasters such as flood, high winds, tornados. We also train to assist with buidling collapses and urban search. We train volunteers in land and water search techniques and work with them to help train K9 partners for use in searching for msising subjects such as alzheiemer patients, missing children, over due hunters/hikers. We primarily service Chester County, PA and the surrounding counties. We are available for mutal aid searches where additional resources are required for large-scale multi-agency searches. We do not search for criminals.
