K9 Search and Rescue

Happy ending.
12-02-06 0530Hrs. Received a call to fly immediately down to San Diego, Ca.
re: Lost injured dog. Lost from a vet clinic at 0430 Hrs. this date.
Responded. Obtained scent article. Val tracked dog 1 mile down into a
rattle snake filled canyon. there on the ridge was the dog. Very scared
but very much alive.
It took us about an 1/2 hour to coax the dog down from the ridge but he's
doing fine.
A happy vet, and two happy dog owners.

Thanks to Harry and Valorie, here are some very happy endings for dogs who were lost and have been reunited with their guardians. We would like to have some cat photos of some of the many cats they have found, but the cats were camera shy after their ordeals.

Tillamook Floods

11-07-06 IK9SARS Swift Water Night SAR Rescue team was activated by the Humane Society of Cowlitz Co. to help rescue two cats. The cats were
floating on furniture in the kitchen where the water level was 1 foot from
the ceiling. They had been there 24 hours. We kayaked out 1/4 mile past
under live power lines, water was full of the normal dead animals, human
waste, fertilizer, hazmat crap. We broke the back kitchen window while
balancing on a kayak and rescue two very scared cold cats (see photos on right).

SUCCESS! but this found cat was having none of the photo session (that's why it's a little blurry)!

Hello all, We have great news... Kirra was found unharmed in a story that was made for an after school special. Long story short, some street kids had her and Kirra was helping them all out with their lives for a week.
We want to thank our wonderful group of friends for their support
through this experience!
Jami, Kirra and I will be roaming the city removing flyers from so
many poles and boards with large smiles on our faces...
Love, R, J and K
