Rescue FAQs

The Central PA Animal Alliance (CPAA) was founded in 2003 to save the lives of dogs in shelters or who are discarded or abandoned. CPAA provides rescue, foster homes, and training and rehabilitation for these dogs through its Hounds of Prison Education (HOPE) program in partnership with the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill, PA. Carefully-selected inmate handlers are paired with each dog for 7 to 16 weeks to provide obedience training to get the dogs ready to be adopted into their forever homes. The dogs live with the inmates 24/7 at the prison, and the inmates work with HOPE volunteers and professional trainers. HOPE provides rescue at both ends of the leash!
