NLOL WILL BE BACK UP AND RUNNING ON JULY 15, 2022
NLOL is heading back to Pamlico Correctional Institution on July 15, 2022. As many of you know, we have been shut down due to COVID for the past 2 years. We had a wonderfull meeting with the new Warden at PCI and he is excited to have the New Leash on Life program back up and running. Unfortunately, we will only be returning at 1/2 capacity (3 dogs total -2 from Austin Veterinarian and 1 from PAWS) many of our trainers transferred to other programs in other correctional institutions but we hope to be back to full capacity soon. Please check back soon to see pictures of the dogs we will have available for adoption.
Pamlico's New Leash on Life program has graduated and found homes for 281 dogs. NLOL benefits the inmates as well as the dogs. PAWS rescues shelter dogs needing a second chance then Pamlico Correctional Institution pairs them with inmate trainers. The inmates learn patience, responsibility and teamwork, along with new marketable skills in dog training and veterinary assistance.
The dogs spend 8-10 weeks working on house and crate training, basic obedience, leash work and agility for confidence. These well-behaved graduates are fully vetted, micro-chipped, spayed or neutered and current on heartworm and flea prevention. These well-behaved companions graduate every 8-10 weeks ready to join new, forever families. Adopting families will be able to attend their dog's graduation.
