NATIONAL Crisis Response Canines is a network of certified crisis response canine strike teams. Our handler/canine teams deploy on scene to provide safe, trauma-informed support for people in crisis — and the responders helping them.

 

NATIONAL Crisis Response Canines is an all-volunteer organization and does not charge for its services.
