We are pleased to continue our efforts to grow and share this program.  Our efforts have been rewarded by recent grants and an opportunity to share the program results.

The National Convention for the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention has selected us to share our results in October in Maryland.   An investment into furthering this program into communities through-out the United States. 

Interested in helping us get these results shown and our program expanded?  We could use your help - really!

2011 resulted in over 40 dogs and youth being served by our program.  In review of the last three years - 95% of all dogs are adopted!  We love it!!
