General Information About Us

• We are all self-funded volunteers. We pay for our own supplies, including fuel, dogs & dog related supplies, and all specialized equipment. We do not get any funds from other agencies, county, state (yes we do not get the .25 cents from state licenses) or the federal government. Our services are free. . . . . so any donations are greatly appreciated. (See our wish list)
  

• RSAR is a non-profit, volunteer organization. All funding is derived from individual donations, grants and other types of fundraising. Our members spend countless hours of their free time and occasionally their work time to respond to a search and rescue operation. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support the valuable work that we do for the community.
