American Kennel Club once again honor’s Keahi through Facebook Campaign!

Keahi is just one of the dogs that make up Arizona Search Track and Rescue’s Elite K9 team and like the rest of the K9’s and their human’s, she excels as what she does.  June brought us 16 search days out of 30 total days.  A Busy month for AZ STaR.   Way to go AZ STaR K9’s and their human counterparts.

Share if you care… help this hero get the fame she deserves.   Read more about Keahi’s story here: http://www.akc.org/news/ace/2012/honorees.cfm#search_rescue

Paws of Life – 100 Hole Marathon Golf Event

Arizona Search Track and Rescue thanks all of those that contributed to our 100 Hole Golf Marathon.  While more than 1/2 of our team was on a search and rescue mission in Sedona, the remainder of the team played golf for all of those that had solicited pledges for this cause.   We chipped, hacked and putted our way to 100 Holes in records heat for Phoenix on June 08th.  We all survived and THANK YOU for your support!

Help Support AZ STaR

As a federally approved 501-C-3 non-profit, AZ STaR exists solely on the generous donations that it recieves from private and corporate donations.  Unfortunately, these do not even begin to cover the expenses of training, equipment and mission responses that are endured by our Volunteer Members. Nor does it cover the cost of the Educational literature and programs that we provide to the Public and other Agencies all at NO CHARGE.   Please assist us by making a donation today or participating in one of our upcoming Fundraising Events.
Join us for a PAWRaising car wash and visit with the Canines of AZ STaR while your car is being washed by their handlers (the one time that the handler will have to work harder than the pups).  See our Event Calendar for Dates, Times and locations.
Purchase STaR K9-Collector Card sets featuring 10 individual K9-s of AZ STaR.
