Prison Training Program Graduates
The Prison Training Program is a program that our pups attend at Lancaster State Prison, where they are partnered with inmates to complete a 12-week course that teaches basic commands, behavior, and socialization. The inmates have received highly effective dog-training methods by Paws for Life K9, where they have received special recognition for the incredible work they are accomplishing- both for the dogs and the rehabilitation of the inmate!
The trainer provides a full assessment and progress report for the dog each week. A final assessment upon graduation with the program's results and further recommendations for future training is also included. These notes are all available upon request.
Free webinar sessions are available with a Paws for Life K9 trainer who has previously worked with the graduate.
Prison Training Program Graduates Ready for Forever Homes:
Meet Cyrus!
Hey there, I'm Cyrus, a 2-year-old Shepherd who's traded in the cellblock for the great outdoors, thanks to the amazing Paws for Life K9 prison program!
I've learned some valuable life skills and a whole lot of self-control, so you won't catch me causing any trouble (well, maybe a little playful mischief every now and then!).
I'm an active guy who thrives on exercise and mental stimulation. I'm also a quick learner and a master at walking on a figure-eight leash. I love hiking, playing with other dogs, and snuggling up with my humans at the end of a long day.
If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick who's ready to hit the trails and be your loyal companion, I'm your guy!

Meet Harris!
This handsome man joined the pack from our partner rescue, Paws for Life K9, where he was pulled from an overcrowded shelter. Harris is almost 6 years old and weighs approximately 38 lbs.
Harris has been doing well in his foster home with other pups, loves everyone he meets, and would prefer to go to a home with no kitties.
Harries walks well on leash, loves car rides, knows all his basic commands, and is crate and potty-trained.
