The Belgian Rescue Dogs originally started as a group of friend who regularly trained every week with their dogs as a part of RPS Geel. At this moment the group has 9 members. Our team works exclusively with volunteers which means that everyone has to pay his own costs and that everyone works free of charge.

During the event of a disaster or disappearance, the help of well trained dogs is necessary to find victims. For example after an earthquake or an explosion, people can get stuck under the debris. Other events can be missing children, elderly people, patients or death persons in the woods, fields or even in the water.

With the help of the Belgian Rescue Dogs the probability that these persons are found is drastically increased.

But we need material to train our teams even better and to improve the communication between the teams. Such as: a GPS, universal and protective clothing, a climbing armor for dog and trainer, life jackets for dogs and also a rubber dinghy is welcome.

The Belgian Rescue Dogs aren’t financially supported by the government and that’s why we are dependent on own contribution and your support.

The Belgian Rescue Dogs want to actively support the tracing of lost or missing people, national and international.

Police and other government institutions can ask us for help free of charge in case of calamities. But also private persons can contact us for a search action.

We want to thank the fire brigade of Tongeren for the material and logistic support we receive for the training of our teams.
