Paws in Prison educates female inmates for greater responsibility and empathy through the rescue and training of shelter dogs to be adopted by the public. The women who participate in the Paws in Prison program are given an opportunity to earn certifications that could benefit them for job opportunities after prison release.
Completing the application is a step in the process of acquiring a dog from Paws in Prison, but it does not guarantee you will get a dog without further review. If you are accepted as an adoptee, you will be required to sign an adoption contract. One Application is for one or more dogs. Please be specific about which dog(s) you are interested in. ADOPTION FEE: The PIP adoption fee is $325 which includes shots, current month heartworm preventative, spay/neuter, training, microchip fee and sales tax. RENTAL AGREEMENT: If you rent your home, you will be required to supply a rental agreement proving that pets are allowed. GOING HOME: If you have a trip planned or have events that would conflict with the dog adjustment period, please take that into consideration before picking up your dog. MEET AND GREET: If you have other dogs (s) in the home, you will be required to bring them to the prison for a "meet and greet." HOME INSPECTION: A home inspection will be required to make certain your home is appropriate for dog adoption. FEEDBACK: Although not required, the inmates who lovingly trained your dog always like to know how they are doing in their forever home. A feedback letter thanking them and letting them know how your dog is doing in his/her new home would be greatly appreciated, with photos if possible.
