Refurbished Pets.
When a dog can help a person, that’s a win. When the person they’re helping can also help them, that’s a win-win for everyone.
That’s what’s happening in a programme devised by Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan:
Everyone is touched by a second chance. Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan (RPSM) was organized in spring of 2007 because of high euthanasia rates at Branch County Animal Control. A brilliant plan was later worked out where dogs would be given a second chance; with the assistance of the local prison complex, Lakeland and Florence Crane Correctional Facilities, the first and only stray shelter dog Correctional Companion Program in Michigan was implemented. The otherwise unwanted dogs are thoroughly vetted and vaccinated, and then, specially educated prisoners work to train and foster them. Upon successfully completing their tenure with the prisoners, the dogs are then adopted into loving families.

This programme takes strays who would otherwise be euthanised and puts them in the care of prisoners. The prisoners care for them and train them up so they can be adopted out.
The prisoners and the overall prison facility benefit from the dogs, and the dogs get a second chance at a life in a loving home.
