Pups in Prison Event
May 21 @ 5:30 pm - 7:15 pm
$50
Explore the unique relationships between our professional training staff and the specially selected inmate handlers who take such good care of our pups. These inmates are dedicated to training our future assistance dogs. They spend months teaching more than skills. They form deep mutual connections that foster trust. And that trust becomes the foundation for the dogs’ lifelong bond with their future human partners.
Hear the heartwarming stories from Warden Lizzie Tegels and two former inmate handlers from Jackson Correctional Institution. You’ll also meet Lindy Luopa, Can Do Canines’ Puppy Program Manager, who leads the team that makes this impactful program possible, and Josie Scoonover-Nelson, our Lead Puppy Program Instructor.
Please note that only certified assistance dogs will be allowed at this event. Dogs in training can enjoy a break at home.
