Scott County K9 Tactical Search Team

K9TST is committed to finding missing people wherever they may be and under any and all circumstances.

Below, you will find a few photographs of some of our most recent missions.

Lady is a trailing dog, and has delpoyed on a variety of missions, including runaway children and missing children, disoriented and lost senior citizens, fugitives and in one case a missing dog. 

About Lady

Lady is an AKC registered Labrador Retriever. We purchased her from a breeder in Troy, Missouri, in 2003 and she was one of a litter of 16. She has lived with her owner, Tom Beardslee, since she was eight weeks old. She is a trailing specialist, but can also locate general human scent. She was trained here in Scott County, with the assistance and advice from the good folks at Extreme K9, in Carbondale, IL.
