Welcome to SARDA Wales, we are a specialist Search Dog component of Mountain Rescue (England and Wales) and are permanently staffed by unpaid volunteer Dog Handlers and their dogs to provide a search and rescue service to the Police, Mountain Rescue & Coastguard. We train air scenting and trailing dogs to search for missing people in mountain, rural and urban locations. We have 80-90 call outs each year in North Wales including missing children, vulnerable adults, dementia patients and hill walkers & mountaineers. We are on call 365 days per year in any weather.
