Canine CellMates
Our out-of-custody program, Beyond The Bars, is uniquely poised to be an an alternative to incarceration. Based on our research, Beyond The Bars is the very first alternative disposition program utilizing shelter dogs as an integral component. We believe in the magical healing power of dogs, and their unique God-given ability to see the good inside of people and help people see that good in themselves, which positions these men to be open to other life-changing concepts. When you pair the healing power of dogs with perception-altering curriculum - delivered through positive reinforcement - and then surround them with positive, supportive, loving community, we believe that this is an environment most conducive to creating long-lasting change. Our greatest hope is that these men will move toward being better parents to their children, better children to their parents, and better citizens in the community.
