A dog that was once in peril of being put down at a Georgia animal shelter is now a K-9 with the Headland (AL) Police Department.
According to AL.com , K-9 Harlow was obtained by the department through a program known as Animal Farm Foundation, a nonprofit that rescues dogs in shelters, pays for K-9 training conducted by Sector K-9 in Texas, and then matches the dogs with agencies in need of a K-9.
K-9 Harlow will be partnered with Officer Bethany Hicks who serves as a school resource officer for the department.
Officer Hicks says, "He's very friendly and he loves to play, but when it comes to work he's ready to work," reports WTVY .
Harlow will visit different classrooms and lockers and sniff for any illegal contraband.
"He can detect marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine," says Hicks.
