Search and Rescue Canine Team
Our search and rescue team utilizes canine teams to search for missing or injured persons in the park. Much of the Search and Rescue team at Joshua Tree is volunteer based including our canine teams. Pets visiting the park must remain on leash at all times and cannot walk on trails, except Oasis of Mara Trail. Pets can be walked on leash, on dirt roads in the park.
