Southern Star Search and Rescue Instruction Program for Kids

Blakeley is a partner with Southern Star Search & Rescue, a non-profit volunteer organization and member of the Alabama Association of Rescue Squads (AARS). SoS-SAR provides trained search personnel and Search K9s to law enforcement, fire & rescue squads, and other agencies in our region to assist in finding missing persons. 

During this special program, children will be introduced to a few of the basic survival techniques that could mean life or death in the unfortunate event they become lost in the outdoors. Everyone will see demonstrations of how search dogs are specially trained and learn how they find a lost person. You’ll also get to meet and greet these specially trained search dogs, and kids will receive outdoor safety protection items.
