Great Basin K-9 SAR was honored to be selected as one of only five national finalists in 2021 and one of only five finalists in all of North America in 2022 in the Search and Rescue Category for the Defender “Service Awards.” Although we did not win the prize, a Land Rover Defender, we were honored to represent and stand along side all of the professional men and women who entered and who give of their time and expertise to serve their communities.

The following is from the Land Rover website:
“SEARCH & RESCUE
No stranger to harrowing rescue missions in remote areas, the five finalist Search & Rescue nonprofits are truly capable of great things. They scale treacherous mountains in search of avalanche victims, train dogs and their handlers to traverse uncertain terrain in search of lost hikers and mobilize veterans to embark on off-road expeditions. These organizations embody the spirit of boldness that Land Rover champions. A new Defender could take them on their next life-saving trek.”
