The Puppies Behind Bars program brings 8 week old puppies to live and train in prisons. The inmates are the dogs' sole caretaker. While the puppies are growing and training, they are also teaching and helping. The inmates learn how to be caring and compassionate because of their role.
This program has high expectations for these little puppies. The end goal is that they will become Explosion Detection Dogs, Service Dogs, or companion dogs for soldiers returning from war. How empowering for their trainers to know that their dog they worked with went on to save lives!
I noticed on their website that Puppies Behind Bars pays 100% for the cost of raising the puppies their food, vet services, educational supplies for the puppy raisers, teachers' salary, and travel. Here's a link to some ways that you can support this awesome program.
