A Second Chance
New Life K9s collaborates with California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo, pairing incarcerated individuals with future service dogs. Each dog is assigned two handlers for consistent training, and volunteer Puppy Parents take the dogs home on weekends for socialization. This program reduces costs for New Life K9s, allowing them to place more dogs and save more lives, while also positively transforming inmates, prison staff, and the overall prison culture.
