Responding to people in
distress has long been an honorable, charitable tradition. MARK9 consists of a
dedicated team of professional volunteers who carry on this tradition by
donating thousands of hours to train their dogs for the sole purpose of helping
others in times of need. All members are required to have a minimum of Basic
First Aid and CPR. Many members have additional training, such as EMTs and
Paramedics. All of our dogs are owned by their handlers and all costs incurred
during training and responding on missions is the sole responsibility of the
handler.
If you are interested
in sponsoring our team, please see the "How You
Can
Help" Page.
