These pups aren’t pets – they’re rescue dogs training to become service animals. And the trainers? They’re the inmates.

  1. This is 6 years old so I hope this is still going on because it is a good thing for the inmates and the dogs and the people they help by training a service dog. They need this program in every prison I am all for it it's a good thing

  2. I remember learning about this program a few years ago and thinking how great it was until recently seeing that one of the poor dogs had been killed in one of the inmates cells! Glad it's not operating anymore, the most trusting and beautiful of creatures are too precious to be around violent criminals.

  3. Great idea. The guys learn compassion and responsibility. The dogs don't care and both have nothing but time. Every prison should do this. The cost – a fence and door – usually material is donated and they guys do the work. I don't see a down side at all!!

  4. We need this program at every prison so that there won't be a shortage of service dogs for those who need one. I have several patients who either need one or will need one, yet don't have the money to purchase a trained service dog and the waitlist for a donated service dog is long. Please support Prison Pet Partnerships in your area and contact your local prison and advocate for them to start one. Also, volunteer to help these programs, including becoming a foster family for transitioning service and paroled dogs.
