Friends For Folks - Dog Training Program

Friends For Folks - Dog Training Program Friends for Folks pairs long term dogs from shelters and humane organizations with state correctional inmates being educated as dog trainers.

Friends for Folks is about hope for people and animals who have lost hope. It’s about the power of love in healing and redemption. Friends for Folks pairs dogs from shelters and humane organizations with state correctional inmates educated as dog trainers. Over the course of about 8 weeks, the dogs become trained and are more likely to be adopted. The program is a win-win-win for the Friends” (the

dogs), the “Folks” (new owners), and the inmates themselves. In addition to the inmate dog training program, Friends for Folks has developed a separate program to help the children of inmates. Friends for Folks is an all-volunteer organization that depends on donations for its programs, to contribute, please GIVE to the Friends for Folks fund at the Communities Foundation of Oklahoma

This good boy here is Sammy. He is graduating today from our Lexington program and returning to his foster home with Pups & Promises rescue. He is available for adoption - link for the application is in comments.
Sammy is still a teenager and is super smart. He could use a home with some patience as he matures to become a wonderful pet.

We appreciate the coverage of FFF's partnership with OSU Vet Dr. Leticia Fanucchi.

"Dogs that complete the program have a higher chance of being adopted. Inmates who assist in training the dogs are rewarded by knowing they have positively impacted the animal’s future."

This is Buddy. Sister Maria found Buddy by her indigent hospice home in Moore, Oklahoma. He went to the prison dog program at Lexington to be trained to join the School Resource Officer ( SRO) program in public schools.

We started the SRO dog therapy program with officer Amber Dodson and her dog Willa. Amber gave a talk at a SRO convention about how dogs can be used as ambassadors for the SRO program to help children not fear the officers.

Buddy is another great example of how this program reaches into our communities to help children.
