Chiltern Search Dogs provide lowland search and rescue dogs to assist police constabularies in the search for vulnerable missing persons. This includes missing children, elderly missing persons who may be suffering from dementia and despondents. Chiltern Search Dogs, their handlers and support personnel work alongside police officers and volunteers from Association of Lowland Search and Rescue Units to try to locate these people and reunite them with their families.

Chiltern Search Dogs is a member of Lowland Search Dogs, the umbrella organisation overseeing standards for lowland search dogs in the UK.

Our members are all volunteers, drawn from a variety of backgrounds, who give their time freely to undertake training and be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Chiltern Search Dogs always welcomes new members - whether dog owners or not, to assist the organisation both operationally and in non-operational roles such as fundraising and administration.

Providing such a valuable service requires funding and Chiltern Search Dogs relies upon sponsorship and donations to keep running. Please see our Supporters page for details of how you can help.
