North Paw K9 Search and Recovery, a non-profit volunteer organization, was founded in 2016 to help fill the need for an urban K9 search & recovery asset in the Municipality of Anchorage and throughout the state of Alaska. Today, North Paw K9 Search & Recovery provides urban and wilderness K9s trained in trailing, human remains detection, and scent-specific airscent.
Together with the Anchorage Search Team, North Paw K9 Search & Recovery provides additional assets such as incident command, ground support, lost person behavior knowledge, and vehicular support.
