Stronger together

We deliberately encourage networking and knowledge sharing among search and rescue dog handlers around the world.

Passing on our expertise and the extraordinary know-how of our global network is of particular importance to us. Only by sharing our knowledge and experience with each other we can be pioneers, advance together and thereby promote the continuous professionalisation of the search and rescue dog sector.

This page provides all relevant information for search and rescue dog handlers, from accessing our IRO Portal to signing up for our specialist newsletter.

IRO Portal

We are taking the next step towards digitalisation and are currently working on developing a platform for search and rescue dog handlers and our members. Through the IRO Portal we offer easy and secure access to online services and up-to-date information.

Stay tuned!
