BENTLEY PUPDATE: First let BENTLEY and I thank all our teammates, family and friends for all your support as today was a big milestone. We have logged our entire journey on this fb page for the past 1.5 years to get to this place. Successfully completing our final certification with National Search Dog Alliance, Area Search for Live and Deceased. This means we are now a deplyable K9 team; however this doesn't mean our training has ended. Actually completely the opposite as now the "BIG WORLD" training continues! Please continue to follow, like and share our journey as it means so much to Bentley the SAR Dog !

BENTLEY PUPDATE: In preparation for our National Area Search Certification, a couple of our teammates setup a "Mock Test" yesterday for us to run. 80 acres of wilderness area with hills, stream, swamp areas which allowed us to work all our skills in preparation. Bentley the SAR Dog did great with endurance as we had 2 hours to complete in finding 1 live subject and 1 large source of Human Remains. Very proud and happy to be Bentley's handler! Thank you, Becky, Anna and Heike!

All County Search and Rescue (ACSAR) is a team that assists law enforcement officers throughout the state to search for missing (lost) individuals. This is a crucial service offered to law enforcement agencies, free of charge, to assist them in finding and / or recovering individuals who may have dementia / Alzheimer’s, lost because they are not familiar with the area or who may be despondent. We are a 501 (c) (3) organization who relies on donations to assist us in funding our services. This is our first year selling calendars with the hope that it will be our biggest fundraiser for years to come. Calendars are $15.00 each with each month showing a picture of our canine teams in action. If you would like to purchase a calendar or donate to the cause, contact any team member or message us and we’ll let you know how to go about doing that.

BENTLEY PUPDATE: Training this past week brought us to a very rural area working alongside shoreline. Bentley had so much fun playing hide-n-seek. We stayed high while Bentley worked the ridges down to the shoreline with some challenging scent conditions. He nailed it! Bentley's words: "It's wasn't that hard and I sure loved taking a dip in the lake as well!"
