Inside to Outside Initiative - Prison Puppy Raising Program
Leader Dogs for the Blind
Rochester Hills, MI
The Prison Puppy Raising Program pairs future Leader Dogs with model prisoners who have demonstrated they can be trusted to provide 24/7 care to a seven-week-old puppy through its first year of life. These Leader Dogs not only provide greater independence, safety and self-worth to their blind or visually impaired clients, but also give the inmates who cared for them a sense of pride and gratitude for the chance to give back to the community.
