Mission

Since 2013, Canine CellMates has worked inside the walls of Fulton County Jail, facilitating positive change in incarcerated men utilizing the magic of rescue dogs. In 2021 we launched Beyond the Bars, an out-of-custody program. This intensive, year-long program is for offenders who are released from incarceration and mandated to our rehabilitative program in lieu of further jail or prison time, and is similar to an accountability court. During the intensive phase, they report to our facility 4 half days a week. They work with rescue dogs in a group training environment, participate in the care of the dogs and upkeep of the building, and sit in focused curriculum designed to allow them the opportunity to form new perceptions and empower them to make different kinds of choices.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

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.
