Support CARDA’s Four-Legged First Responders
When someone goes missing in California, CARDA’s K9 teams are ready to respond 24/7, 365 days a year. Our dogs are working athletes who deploy in demanding environments and all types of weather, and although field injuries are uncommon, they do happen. When they do, handlers may face unexpected veterinary costs on top of the many expenses they already cover.
If you are interested to donate, we are asking for your support to help CARDA provide assistance when a dog is injured during a search. Your contribution helps lighten the financial burden on our volunteer handlers so they can focus on their dog’s recovery and continued readiness for future missions.
Thank you for standing beside the dogs who stand beside all of us.

All dogs pictured are safe and well. They get dirty and tired sometimes, and very rarely do sustain injuries (stinging nettles, ground wasps, tears to pads, rattlesnakes, sharp objects) and require emergency vet care.
