Donations
DOGS-East, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization founded in 1980 to train search dogs to find people lost in wilderness as well as those who may be missing due to natural disasters.
How your donation helps
Every gift directly strengthens our ability to bring trained volunteer search teams into the field when someone is missing. Your support helps provide dependable radios and GPS equipment, protective life jackets, topographical maps, specialized training, and other essential operational resources.
Donations also help cover veterinary care for search dogs that are injured while working or training. By giving to DOGS-East, you help keep our teams prepared, our dogs safe and healthy, and our services available to families and communities when they need them most.
