Video: Friday Fun: Dogs to the Rescue: Pluis Davern on Search and Rescue Dogs
Part 2: National Disaster Search Dog Foundation – Providing Trained Dogs for Firefighters and First Responders
From major tragic events like the Earthquake in Nepal, Tornado in Joplin, Missouri, Haiti earthquake, Japan Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, World Trade Center, and Oklahoma City bombing, to local disasters and emergencies, the trained teams of canine and firefighters and first responders are on call-for-duty.
Founded in 1996, the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Santa Paula, California. Our mission is to strengthen disaster response in America by recruiting rescued dogs and partnering them with firefighters and other first responders to find people buried alive in the wreckage of disasters.
What One or Two Women Can Do, You Can Too!
What was the saying… “Think not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”?
You may have met Pluis as a judge, or wandering the obedience area or dog show. But she is a powerful and dynamic example of what determines the quality of life for us and our canines.
If You Want Something Changed… Do It!
Mirror her accomplishments and determination, don’t just admire it or think “how great is that”? As you enjoy the videos on Pluis Davern and NDSDF, think about what action YOU will take to give back.
