About Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center Pet Therapy Program

In 2012, we celebrated our 20th anniversary!

Our programs mission is to provide our adjudicated, youth male offenders an unique opportunity to work daily with adopted/rescued dogs that live on our campus. (PAWS Partnering Animals with Students)

Our program focuses on learning about animals specifically dogs. We offer classes and groups where the youth get an opportunity to learn about animal care and receive elective credits for successful completion of the course, vocational skills, (STEM) learning, and of course human-animal bonding.

Being involved in this program helps improve social skills, team building skills, responsibility, self-esteem, empathy, and human-animal bonding.

If you would like more information about our program, please contact us.

Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center Pet Therapy Program's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Concord, NC.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
