As many of you know we do a lot of pro bono work to give back to our communities. It is a wonderful feeling to give a police/sheriff department or individual that may not otherwise have to opportunity to work a dog,mostly for financial reasons a shot at it. Highland Canine Training donated the first Police Dog in 2006 and has carried on this project annually. In 2007 we named the project the Paul LeBlanc Memorial Working Dog Donation Program to carry on his memory. Paul was a bomb dog handler from Desoto County, Mississippi that has left a lasting impression on our lives; he was a good friend, passionate father, coach, and a hard working dog handler.
Here is a break down of the communites that have benefited from the Paul LeBlanc Memorial Working Dog Donation Program:
