We’ve seen other programs where inmates train service dogs benefiting not only the individual receiving the dog, but also the helps in the rehabilitation of the inmate. Dogs sure are wonderful creatures. These dogs are making a significant impact on not only one, but two individuals. Canine Support Teams is one example of inmates raising service dogs.
Adoptable Dogs Well Prepared By Inmates
However, the article I read today was about inmates helping to train dogs from the local shelter. Va inmates help prepare dogs for adoption tells how inmates are helping to train and prepare dog for adoption from the local Orange County Animal Shelter. Once again this is a great way to, in this case help:
- The Inmate – the program helps in rehabilitation through training and preparing the dogs. And as mentioned in the article it gives the inmates “…something to worry about besides themselves”
- The Dog – Dogs that are not socialized, trained, and basically not prepared for adoption will often be euthanized in overcrowded shelters.
- The Adopter – The person who adopts the dog definitely benefits from the “leg up” these dogs are given by receiving extra attention, training, and grooming.
I’m always happy to hear about programs like these that benefit our sheltered dogs. The more dogs we can save the better.
Have you ever heard of other programs like the Va inmates help prepare dogs for adoption? If so, let us know about it in the comments section below.
