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.

SADLY, our little guy didn’t make it. He deserved better. Godspeed Lil Lyle.

THIS LITTLE BOY NEEDS YOUR HELP!! Lil 5-6lb. Lyle was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection last week and had been responding to the treatment until today. This morning he was having trouble breathing again and at about noon he crashed. I sincerely didn’t think he was gonna make it. His gums were white, his temp dropped and it was scary. I rushed him to our closest vet that was open to see what’s going on. They now have him stable but are going to refer him to one of the specialty vets which is gonna be VERY expensive. But sweet baby was in such rough shape when he came to us I can’t let him die this way. 😭😭

Please, please help with vet bills. So far up to $800.

Her foster mom has tried everything to get weight on her including many different dog foods and additives. after several weeks she is still not gaining weight so we need to get her in for bloodwork to see if there is anything we are missing.
