In keeping with our goal to safely return lost people to their loved ones, we offer the nationally recognized Hug-A-Tree and Survive Program. This teaches children how not to get lost in the wilderness, and if they do become lost, how to help themselves be found by rescuers.

A program for staff and loved ones in nursing homes is also offered covering what to look for and what steps to take if a patient wanders off.

It is of the most importance for those involved with a "walk away" situation. To know what to do to preserve a patient's scent and have it ready ahead of time. It is also important to understand that the family of a victim has the right to request a canine team to the appropriate agency.

Early containment of a victim when they are older is a high priority. Alzheimer patients or those lacking certain medication can become disorientated or confused preventing rational decisions. Time is the main factor to insure a positive outcome.

These programs are presented as an awareness program and are free to the requesting group.
