About The Paws For Life K9 Rescue Prison Program
In April of 2014, Paws For Life launched the first dog rehabilitation program in a men's maximum-security prison. Our inaugural cohort of trainers included fourteen men from the California State Prison-Los Angeles County "Honor Yard" in Lancaster. To join the team, the inmates committed to ten weeks of work: they had to share their lives with fifteen dogs from high-kill Los Angeles shelters. Working in collaboration with a trainer, the inmates–most of whom faced life-sentences–built dog runs outside their cell block, worked in shifts to care for, train and socialize the animals, and created a bridge to the outside world. All fifteen dogs earned their "Canine Good Citizen" (CGC) certification through the American Kennel Club, and the men were able to introduce the dogs to their new families.
