Puppies Behind Bars

Puppies Behind Bars teams inmates with future service dogs.

Prison inmates and puppies may seem like an unlikely duo, but through the Puppies Behind Bars Program they have teamed up to change the lives of disabled veterans, children and people with disabilities across the country

In the Puppies Behind Bars section, learn about this revolutionary program and view a video of how it works. Click the Dog Tags Program to see how you can help match a service puppy with a disabled veteran in need. In Meet the Puppies, you will be introduced to some of the puppies in this program and hear their inmate trainers talk about their canine companions.

I used to think that this was a good idea, however, on second consideration, it is not. Most of the people in jail have problems that go way back. These people have gangs in there. These people can't deal with other people very well and that includes animals. If you can't talk your way into a better situation how are you going to take care of something that can't talk at all. These people have violent tendencies. These people take their feelings out on any target that they can get away with. These "GUARDS" have been known to participate in instigating fights in jail and prison. It is well known that it takes a special kind of person to do that job. You have to have a tough skin. Sometimes, these people just turn as cold as the people on the inside. AND NOW YOU WANT TO PUT A SWEET SMALL ANIMAL - IN THE CAGE WITH BOTH OF THEM? NO-NO-NO-NO-NO !!!!
