This nonprofit organization operates a unique service dog training program that partners with correctional facilities to prepare canines for specialized roles. Incarcerated individuals receive training to raise and work with puppies, developing them into service animals for wounded military veterans and first responders who need assistance with daily tasks. The program also produces facility dogs that work alongside police departments and explosive detection canines for security purposes. The organization has maintained operations for nearly three decades, establishing relationships with correctional facilities including Green Haven Correctional Facility in Stormville, New York. Their comprehensive approach involves housing participating inmates in dedicated units where they can focus on the intensive daily care and training requirements that young dogs need to develop into working animals. Pet owners and supporters can engage with the program through volunteer opportunities, adoption services, and educational materials that document the training process from puppyhood through graduation when the dogs are matched with their permanent partners. The organization maintains active outreach through social media and offers photo documentation of their training milestones and success stories.
