Our Mission

Chesapeake Search Dogs is a 100% volunteer, non-profit search dog organization dedicated to ensuring that a 24 hour, 7 day per week, professionally trained, canine search team is available to law enforcement, fire services, natural resource authorities, and emergency management agencies, at no cost, within the Chesapeake Bay and Southern Pennsylvania Regions to search for lost or missing persons.

Our dogs and our teams are priceless resources when the unthinkable happens and loved ones are missing. With the ability of our dog’s sense of smell and our team’s expertise, we increase the chances of the lost or missing being found quickly and thereby increasing the speed of their rescue or recovery.
