We have been receiving a lot of questions regarding our training in the jail with our Pawsitive for Heroes service dogs. We were given permission to allow everyone a look on the inside. The guys and the dogs are doing great. The dogs have come a really long way. Our hope behind developing the program is to also give these guys something to fall back on once they have been released back into our community. I/We believe everyone deserves a second chance, no matter what. We are here to offer that second chance with much better hope at the same time. We look forward to swapping out the dogs when they are done, pairing them up with Veterans on our waiting list and bringing in fresh dogs to start all over again. Unfortunately one of our dogs will be exiting the program due to an injury that occurred PRIOR to our receiving her and her entry into our program. We will be swapping her out for another dog next week. After her being seen by Donner Creek Vet Clinic her injury is nothing that we can do to fix. After a long discussion with the dr. we feel we would not be doing right by the Veteran who would receive her either. Therefore she will be released to a foster home who can and is willing to love up. She Is amazing and obviously had A LOT of training through us already.
