Our Mission: FurBabies is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization consisting of volunteer dog lovers who
(69)

FurBabies in partnership with The NC Department of Correction with their New Leash on Life Program. It is a WIN/WIN/WIN... A WIN for the Inmates because they have the opportunity to work with the animals, which gives them a purpose and an opportunity for employment when they are released from prison, a WIN for the dog because it earns a Good Citizenship Certificate which is the first step in becom

ing a therapeutic dog and most schools, nursing homes and other locations allow dogs with Good Citizenship Training to be a part of programs at their facilities, and of course a WIN for the new owner who get and absolutely amazing highly trained rescue dog.

“A New Leash on Life” is a program that allows minimum and medium custody state prisons to partner with local animal shelters, animal welfare agencies, and/or private non-profit agencies to train dogs in preparation for their adoption. In turn, the inmates are given a chance to serve the community by training dogs to be well-behaved pets. Selected dogs are placed with inmate trainers in a prison setting for eight to twelve weeks. The inmates teach basic obedience, house training, and socialization through positive reinforcement and repetition. Dogs are taught to walk on and off the leash and to respond to basic commands. Each prison facility partners with a local partner or sponsor, a volunteer animal trainer, and local merchants or civic organizations that can support the program with needed supplies and services. There are currently two apprenticeship programs offered to inmates in the New Leash on Life program. In these programs inmates have the opportunity to receive certified training that will help them obtain a job upon their release from prison. To obtain apprentice certification through the Department of Labor, an inmate must complete 4000 hours on the job training as well as a total of 288 hours related instruction. The related instruction is either provided through the community college or the volunteer trainer. The first apprenticeship is a Dog Trainer Apprenticeship that began in 2007 at Craven CI and has since expanded to include Eastern CI. The second is an Animal Care Provider Apprenticeship and will begin in 2009 at Brown Creek CI and will allow inmates to complete the on the job training at any of the New Leash on Life facilities.

This adorable girl needs your help. Pearl is a beautiful 4 year old Chihuahua mix who was badly injured in a car accident along with her person. Because the person was transported to the hospital Pearl was taken to the shelter as per protocol. Sadly no one ever came back for her. Meanwhile her leg was trying to heal itself which was impossible due to the severity of the break. Our Veterinarians say that now it would be very difficult to repair and would be a very hard recovery. It would also cause her a lot of pain in the future. So we have decided to have it amputated. Dogs are so very resilient and she will running around pain free in no time.

Please help by giving in one of these way.
