Mission
Founded in 1997, Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains prison inmates to raise puppies to be service dogs for the disabled and explosive detection canines for law enforcement. The puppies live in prison with their inmate raisers from the age of eight weeks to twenty months. To date, PBB has successfully raised 79 guide dogs, 199 explosive detection canines (including a few personnel/suicide bomber detection dogs) and 17 service dogs that have gone to serve wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and special needs children. Through their work, inmates give and receive unconditional love, take on extraordinary responsibility and embrace opportunities to contribute to society rather than take from it - all while they prepare for their lives post-incarceration.
