Meet Smidget, Buddy, Riblet and Jakester! Our newest partnership with Canine Partners for Life is at the Jessup Correctional Institution - our first in a male facility. After just one month with their handlers the puppies are already learning sit, stay, etc. If you haven't already, see our first video when they arrived: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZBiUTkPeYM&feature=related
Captain Oliver, who oversees the program, tells us about the changes he has seen not only in the dogs since their arrival on June 8th, but also the atmosphere of the institution. As the dogs grow so do the inmates who care for them. Each puppy will eventually go on to become service dogs after a year with their inmate handlers.
