Who we are and what we do

What began as an idea shared by a few dog owners - to train dogs to help locate lost people - became Search and Rescue Dogs of Maryland (SARDOM) in 1991.

SARDOM is an all-volunteer, non-profit search and rescue unit utilizing airscenting dogs. SARDOM is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to law enforcement, fire/rescue units, and relief agencies and provides its services at no cost to the requesting agency.

Committed to the goal of providing prompt, professional assistance, SARDOM's first priority is to save human lives. As members of the American Rescue Dog Association (ARDA) and the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR), SARDOM is constantly updating our members skills through workshops, training sessions, and seminars.
