On Wednesday, Aug. 15, personnel from the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office traveled to Oakwood to meet with K9 program donors and tour a training facility. ADZ Kennels in Oakwood for the second time is donating the time of its staff to train a sheriff’s office K9 from Habersham County. Starting this fall, the sheriff’s office will have a new K9 in training. The pup was donated to Habersham County by United Logistics. United Logistics consists of three brothers, Tyler, Brett, and Cody Mixon, who grew up in Habersham County and want to give back to the community and make it the best possible. United Logistics CEO Tyler Mixon said they have family members that live in this community and that he knows and trusts that the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office always does everything in its power to keep them and other citizens safe. However, the brothers want to do their part in keeping the Habersham County community safe by donating a K9 to be trained by ADZ. The ADZ training facility is in Oakwood and Doron Zohar and his staff have been responsible for training one K9 and will start training the new one later this fall. ADZ already has started helping the handler, Deputy Holden Helcher, with techniques and demonstrations to help get his K9 where it needs to be starting in the fall. “Without these donations from ADZ Kennels and United logistics, we would not have the K9 unit that we have today,” said Habersham County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Lt. Travis Jarrell. “Not only have they spent so much time and energy pouring into our program but have offered moral support as well as friendship with our team. We as a department offer many thanks to both companies and look forward to all the great things to come, all because of their generosity.”
