The Fort Bend Kennel Club had the honor of presenting the AKC CAR Canine Support & Relief Fund Award to SARQuest on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, at the Sugar Land Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center, in conjunction with our regular Fort Bend Kennel Club monthly meeting. SARQuest Search Specialists also gave a presentation on their work in assisting law enforcement in search and rescue. The group is a local volunteer group and they work hard to train their dogs for search and rescue.
