About SARDA

The Search & Rescue Dog Association - Isle of Man, (SARDA IOM) is a Manx Registered Charity and is a full member of the National Search & Rescue Dog Association (NSARDA).

Searching for missing persons in large areas of land, often at night, can be a slow and difficult undertaking. Time is of the essence and search teams can be assisted by a dog's ability to cover large areas of land very quickly.

Our handlers & navigators are unpaid volunteers and members of the Isle of Man's Emergency Services that make up the IOM Search & Rescue Group, a member of the Mountain Rescue Council of England and Wales.

SARDA Isle of Man relies solely on donations from the public and from organisations, both on and off the Isle of Man. If you would like to donate, please email us, any donation is gratefully recieved.
