Using Canine Teams to Find The Missing

Independent Support

Together with my current certified canine, Serrano, we are an independent, experienced human remains detection dog team.

I work with search teams, families and organizations to locate missing people. These assignments range from cold cases to historical projects.

Search Management

Vita K9 can manage a search and provide experienced, certified canine teams to organizations, developers, families & agencies to clear areas efficiently thus narrowing the focus for a secondary survey like ground penetrating radar or soil testing. The canine teams can manage a variety of environments including large properties, dense bush and buildings. This significantly reduces time and cost.
