Under the motto 'Dogs save lives', the dogs are trained to search for buried or missing persons in the fields of rubble and area search as well as mantrailing and are deployed in Germany and abroad.
 
The teams can be deployed around the clock at the request of the relevant authorities. All members work on a voluntary basis and the missions are free of charge.
