Gretchen, Diesel, Stewey, and Chance
 We have partnered with Mountain View Correctional Institute to begin
a program called "A New Leash on Life". This program allows eight
inmates to train four of our dogs basic obedience. The dogs spend
eight weeks in training at the facility. The program so
far not only has gotten our less likely to be adopted dogs a forever
home, but has changed the lives of all the inmates involved.

This is Lisa Aldridge. Lisa makes sure the trainers and dogs are on
track with
their training. She keeps the dogs spoiled and makes sure they have
all they need.

and she is a very good girl. Now if you are
looking for a nice pet who will do what you
say, and who will be good around kids Ms.
Gretchen is the one. Please come by and see
her because you will love her. Thank you,

Milo wants to
live a good dog's life. He's been
searching for a good home his whole life.
He's just been looking in the wrong
places! Some wild and forgotten backyard
in the middle of nowhere wasn't exactly
what Milo was wanting.
Then Milo heard about a program called "A New Leash on Life". He
knew he needed the training, but he'd have
to go to the pound first. Milo had heard
some bad stuff about pounds. That is why
he had outsmarted the dog-catcher for so
long.
Well, Milo finally had had enough of being hungry, cold, and kicked
out and he got himself locked up at the
Avery Humane Society. As it turns out, all
those stories he'd heard about the pound
were wrong! He had plenty of food, didn't
have to sleep in the rain and got lots of
love and attention.
Then one day, they put Milo in a car and told him he was going to
get an education. He'd been enrolled in "A
New Leash on Life". Milo showed up in some
serious need of learning manners,
obedience, and how to be a stable-minded
dog.
In the short time that he's been in the program, Milo is
demonstrating his intelligence, ability to
adapt and willingness to learn. During his
eight weeks in the program, he'll learn to
walk on a leash without pulling, walk at
your side without even having a leash and
hot to sit, stay, and come. He'll even
learn a few cool tricks too!
When Milo leaves this program, he'll be the perfect dog for the
perfect family. If you're looking for a
little dog with shiny fur, a stumpy little
tail, and BIG brown eyes, Milo is the dog
you've been looking for. He's definitely
been searching for you.

Jeremy, Diesel, and Chaney
| Hello everyone! My name is
Diesel, and I was hping someone could help
me out. You see, I woke up one morning in
this shelter. I have no clue how I got
here. A couple of weeks later I passed the
doggy test to go and get trained by some
friends. I'm so smart I trained my trainer
how to sit! How about that? Right now I am
learning how to do all kinds of tricks.
But all I really want is for someone to
come and love on me. Maybe even a few
kinds to lick on. Will you help me? Pretty
Please with a biscuit on top? |
