Puppies Behind Bars is a transformative non-profit organization dedicated to training service dogs for veterans and first responders while providing inmates with valuable life skills. Our mission is to enhance the lives of both dogs and people by fostering a unique partnership that benefits all involved. We rescue puppies from shelters and train them in correctional facilities, where inmates learn to train these dogs in obedience and socialization. This program not only prepares the dogs for their future roles as service animals but also empowers inmates by teaching them responsibility, compassion, and teamwork. Our value proposition lies in our dual impact: we improve the quality of life for veterans and first responders who need assistance while simultaneously providing inmates with a second chance and a sense of purpose. By bridging the gap between two communities, Puppies Behind Bars creates a cycle of healing and hope. Join us in our mission to change lives, one puppy at a time.
