context_page_description: The International Search and Rescue Dog Organisation is the worldwide umbrella organisation for search and rescue dog work and partner of the UNO. It unites more than 250,000 people worldwide with about 2,000 certified search and rescue dogs. The headquarters are in Salzburg.
  The task of the International Search and Rescue Dog Organisation is to train and certify highly qualified search and rescue dog teams and to provide them as supporting units in case of emergency. Thanks to their fine noses, dogs often become lifesavers after an avalanche accident, an earthquake or in the search for missing children and disoriented people suffering from Alzheimer's or Dementia. The more than 120 member organisations of the International Search and Rescue Dog Organisation are on 24-hour standby, 365 days a year to help people in need.
  The International Search and Rescue Dog Organisation was founded in 1993 and is a registered non-profit organisation. As such, it relies upon donations to provide search and rescue dog teams with the certification, training and education necessary to find lost and missing people.
