My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

An empty chair. A lonely heart. Hopes for a bright future and a brand new start. Cesar is a handsome, happy, adult Pitti. As a Path To Home student he learned basic commands, is crate trained and housebroke. Cesar can be particular about who he shares his life with. He would do best in an adult home with possibly a female dog. Cesar is still at the prison - if you would like to meet him - email us at info@vol4animals.org

Volunteers For Animals and Orleans Correctional Facility have developed a Dog Training & Fostering Program within the prison that will provide socialization and basic obedience training for the dogs before being adopted. Volunteers For Animals will be pulling dogs from high kill shelters and locally who may be in need of behavioral support to become more adoptable. The dogs will then be transported to Orleans Correctional Facility where they will live with selected inmates who will care for them 24 hours per day for approximately 12 weeks. Each dog will have a crate, bedding, leash, collar, training treats, and food provided by Volunteers For Animals. A certified dog trainer will provide weekly training classes for the dogs and the inmates. The inmates will then work daily to reinforce the formal training with the dogs.

 



 
Here is the adoption process:
 
To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $60 fee for any animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 deposit which will be returned upon proof of surgery. All dogs must be licensed before leaving the Shelter. Please note that public offices that issue dog licenses are not open on Saturdays and Sundays. All cats must leave in a carrier.
 
Thank you for considering a homeless animal.
