Train Dogs to "Sniff Out" Landmines & Save Lives

Landmines maim & kill thousands each year, keep people from their homes, and deny the use of productive land. The Marshall Legacy Institute works in war-torn countries and provides Mine Detection Dogs (MDDs) to "sniff out" landmines, save lives and return the land to productive use. Highly trained dogs are one of the most efficient and effective detectors of landmines, with a working life of 6-8 years, a dog can clear more than 4 million square meters of land each year, saving countless lives.
