[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 725150, member: 16024"] I just have to put in a good word for Marley’s Mutts Pawsitive Change program.... They take dogs from “death row” and pair them with California prison inmates, who train them and then the dogs get put up for adoption. It is a good program that helps both the animals and the humans at the same time. The inmates must apply, and it is not easy to be selected, but the ones who do get into the program have some life-changing experiences. The men learn valuable skills, teamwork, empathy, etc. as they have to go through the training before they are allowed to train a dog. I love the way that prisoners get a chance to learn to do something positive, while rescuing dogs. The program is geared toward making a positive change in the lives of inmates and hopefully reduce recidivism. The dogs get a second chance at life, get training (always monitored to ensure the proper methods are used) and then, when they are finished, get to go to a great family who will care for them.
