The Specialized Rescue Service (SRS) is a non-governmental organization consisting of qualified specialists from various fields who are ready to help injured people and animals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

SRS is a strong team whose members not only have the right qualifications, but also the courage and determination to make helping others their priority.The name of the organization refers to the fact that its members are specialists from various fields who join forces to provide effective assistance in any situation.

The history of SRS dates back to 2022, when, during a relief effort for Ukraine, the organization Animal Rescue Poland decided to transform itself into the Specialist Rescue Service. The idea of creating a rescue group using tracking dogs had long been present among the members of the organization, and the action in Ukraine became the impetus to implement this idea.

SRS consists of various teams, including Water Rescue, Animal Rescue Poland, Training Center, and Search and Rescue Group. Each team has specialized knowledge and experience that is used to provide the most effective assistance possible.

For SRS, the most important thing is to help every living creature, which is why the organization works with commitment and professionalism to ensure maximum protection for people and animals in every situation. More information about each team can be found in the tab for that team.
