My story

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

Hippie is one of the newest stars of the Paws in Prison program, and she’s already stealing hearts. This one-year-old Australian Kelpie mix is the definition of sweet, soulful, and steady. Hippie’s favorite place in the world is right by her person’s side—whether that’s quietly keeping you company or curling up for a good snuggle.



She gets along well with other dogs, but Hippie would also be perfectly content as your one and only fur child. Independent, confident, and emotionally tuned in, she has a calm presence that makes you feel instantly at ease. Affectionately nicknamed “Potato,” Hippie loves cozy cuddles and peaceful moments just as much as she enjoys being part of your everyday life.



Hippie is learning, growing, and blossoming through the Paws in Prison program—and she’s ready for a forever home where love comes easy and snuggles are always welcome.

More about this rescue

We are a prison located in Lockhart TX. We rescue dogs from rural area shelters and take them into the prison for training on basic obedience. They are also house trained and crate trained. Training is done by the women inmate handlers. A professional trainer comes to the prison weekly to teach the inmates how to train the dogs. Dogs live at the prison for 2-3 months, in the cells with the inmates, while they are being trained.

All dogs are up to date on their shots, heartworm negative and on preventative, spayed/neutered, microchipped and trained for basic obedience.
