​
"Along the walls [of the prison dorm] are over 400 names of dogs that have been given a second chance. It was then that I realized I too, was given a second chance. Seeing these women train these dogs to become adoptable and go to families that will love and enjoy them is slowly healing a part of me that needed to be fixed. Thank you Paws in Prison for giving these dogs and all the women in the program a second chance!"
