Who’s the best doggo?

Big congratulations from the Edmonton Police Service to our partners at the Zebra Centre on their newest Buddy dog, Nitro!

Nitro was formally introduced today at “Ladies OFF The Green.” The event brought together 200 women in support of the Zebra Centre’s facility dog program which helps provide comfort, courage and connection to children and youth who need it most.

Welcome to the herd Nitro! Another amazing step forward for a team that’s already making a profound difference in our community.
