Greater Houston Search Dogs is a 501(C)(3) volunteer not-for-profit search dog organization on call 24 hours a day to assist law enforcement and emergency service agencies in locating lost or missing persons. We are committed to training and education in order to provide efficient dogs and handlers to the community. We believe in the use of positive reinforcement in the training of our dogs. We do not work with aggressive animals, only those that are "people friendly."

If you have a missing person emergency please:

• Contact law enforcement immediately.
   
• For missing children contact the Laura Recovery Center Foundation:
  (281) 482-5723
   
  
• Contact Greater Houston Search Dogs:
  Susan Martinez: (832) 524-6838
   
  
• Protect any personal scent items of the missing person from being touched by anyone else before the dogs arrive. Insist that the dog handlers collect the scent articles.
   
  
• Start an organized, coordinated search procedure as soon as possible. The shorter the time to start the better the chances of favorable results. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
