Search Dogs Northeast is comprised entirely of volunteers and does not receive any state or federal aid or funding. All expenses associated with training the dogs and their handlers to be ready for any search  scenario are paid by the volunteers of SDNE, and those expenses can be quite overwhelming. We work closely with local police departments in missing persons searches, and we work with the community to train and educate people through seminars, demonstrations, children's and other programs.
