Puppy Sponsors

Without the kind and generous donations by so many people and these primary sponsors, Durham Highways tradition of having a dalmatian represent the department and help train and educate the many kids and people of our district would not have been possible. Please look to these outstanding companies for your pet care needs.

Tell them Angus sent you ;-)
Sylvie and Shannon of K9 Solutions have graciously donated a full training package which include basic obedience, on site and off site work with the puppy, consultation and even intensive advanced obedience and "trick" training for our newest member..
