No. Sniffer dogs are taught to associate the smell of drugs with a reward. Usually the reward will be having some play time and praise from it's handler. Certainly the canines are trained using real drugs, but they are not "given" the drugs per se. A link can be found below.

No, most dogs do not become addicted. They are trained to detect the smell by associating the smell with a reward (usually a toy or a treat).
