Animal Welfare Professionals

Our shelter has been asked to partner with a prison on a dog training program. We'll select dogs to spend 8 weeks with an inmate who will be responsible for training. I'm looking for examples of memorandums of agreement between shelters and prison with similar programs. If you can share your's, please email to laura.atwood@anchorageak.gov  Thanks!

I'm not involved directly, but two local groups here in metro Atlanta have been running successful programs long-term. I'm sure they would be glad to help! Contact information on their sites (below) or you can find them on facebook/messenger. Good luck! <3

I'm a volunteer with a prison dog program. I was not with the group in the beginning when the program started but our website can be found here: www.rpsm.org
