Merry Christmas everyone!
As we celebrate the holidays and look forward to 2026 we want to take this time to again THANK all the individuals, businesses, and organizations that have supported our mission in 2025. Without all of you we would not be where we are today. We have truly been blessed!
We still have progress to make moving forward in 2026, continual training, final installation of emergency equipment, and of course the expenses of maintaining a search and rescue K9.
We will greatly appreciate any and all donations if you are able to help! Please reach out to us at ems.k9@netins.net to request a meet and greet with K9 Ivy, to get additional information, or to donate.
God bless all of you with a great holiday season and new year!

Western Iowa EMS K9 Association is very pleased to announce that Search & Rescue K9 Services will soon be available with Hamburg Iowa Fire Department & Rescue!
Our K9 Handler is an EMT and Level II Search & Rescue Tech who serves with Hamburg Rescue several days each month. K9 IVY will be available to respond from the Hamburg Fire Station (with a short delay while her handler responds from George C. Grape Community Hospital to the fire station) on the days she is in Hamburg.
We have contacted Fremont County Sheriff's Office - Iowa to work out communications details so we can proceed with programming of our emergency radio equipment.
Fundraising for installation of emergency equipment in our response vehicle is nearing completion thanks in part to our latest donation from Walmart Shenandoah. If you or your organization/business would like to help in this important community service, or would like more information, PLEASE message us or call 712-three two one-9999.
Follow and share our page for more exciting news as we get the final details worked out. Thank you!
