Additional adoption info
Our adoption process requires a short application which can be emailed to and from potential adopters and a meet-and-greet when the potential adopters come to the correctional center to meet the dogs, their inmate trainers, and the volunteers that manage the program. Requirements vary by the individual dog as to whether fence is required, the hours the dog would be happy being left home alone, whether they are good with other dogs/cats/kids. These dogs are looking for loving, inside homes where they will an integral part of the family. The fees are modest for a fully vetted, trained and socialized dog. Currently $110.
