Warren Van Der Merwe

About Surrey SAR

Surrey SAR is a volunteer organisation on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist Surrey Police and other Emergency Services.

"Our primary role is to assist in locating lost or missing vulnerable people within Surrey and its surrounding areas".

Surrey SAR is entirely reliant on sponsorship and donations to exist and carry out its work.

Why Warren got involved in SAR

In 2010 Warren was looking for an interesting way to help the community after spending a few years in the emergency services.

The dogs

Warren and his wife own two dogs…Zazu, a one year old Border Collie, and Nala, a two year old Border Collie, who competes in Agility.

Warren’s most memorable success?

"Passing Zazu’s Level Two assessment and then getting a callout straight after.  That was a very long but awesome day” 

For more information Warren can be contacted via the teams website: http://www.sursar.org.uk/

Customers' Views

Your dog food is a blessing!

We tried all the expensive foods in an attempt to help our bearded collie who suffered terribly from loose bloody stools. Nothing worked until we tried your food for sensitive tums. She has never been better.

So not only are we saving on dog food, but also on vet bills!

 Thank you from Michelle and Milly the Beardie.
