MARK9 is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit Search and Rescue team. Our members are regular people from various walks of life who pay team dues and are financially responsible for all the costs associated with Search and Rescue such as gas, vehicle maintenance, K9 care/insurance, gear, training seminars, etc.

 

Because we are self-funded, a little generosity from the public goes a long way to aid us doing this crucial work. If you are interested in making an impact, we have multiple opportunities to help the team.

​

• Donations – Donations are tax-deductible and can be made through PayPal, or simply writing and mailing a check. We use funds to increase our capabilities, attend outside training, outfit our members with uniforms, and fund operating costs.

• Gear via Amazon Wishlist – We’re always looking to lessen the cost to individual members, and gear is a great way to do that. We have a Wishlist set up on Amazon.com where you can select and buy items that we can put into service. Click here to view our Wishlist.

​

• Training Locations – We are always looking for new training locations as the variety is crucial to helping the K9s succeed in unfamiliar environments. If you think you might have a place in mind, or if you simply want to know what kinds of places we use so you can be on the lookout, Contact Us. There’s no guarantee we’ll be able to use it, but we can guarantee we’ll appreciate the offer and the effort.
