FEMA's VATF-1 (Virginia Task Force 1), one of the few FEMA teams that deploys internationally, was deployed to Haiti to assist in the search and extrication of survivors of the school collapse.

If you look at pics of the collapse/rescue, VATF-1 are the folks in the yellow-green hardhats. The folks wearing orange hardhats are likely the French team. So far, I've only seen one pic of a search dog, and it was an am staff type dog (maybe, hard to tell for sure from pic) - not from VATF-1. Link to pic:
