Dog of the Week: Death Row Dogs

If you're familiar with Dogs 2nd Chance, you may be aware of the Death Row Dogs program at the Green River Correctional Complex in Central City, KY. In this program dogs that have been in a shelter or with fosters for a long time and continuously overlooked are given the opportunity to train at the prison facility with the inmates. Dogs spend three months their in training and are fully vetted an cared for. Here is one news story from Kentucky about this program.

The current Death Row Dogs class has 15 of the 20 participants from the Mid South area, either from Dogs 2nd Chance, or CARES. This time, however, there are not as many adoption applications for these wonderful dogs. We need your help! If you were thinking about a dog this winter, please consider a fully trained, wonderful dog from this program. You can read more about it at the McMuttigan's website.

Here are the photos from Class 26. Click on a picture to check out the personalities of these adoptable dogs! There are indications of which are available. If they are not adopted, these dogs will have to return to the rescue organizations, and unfortunately, we have little room or time to keep up their training. Please find yourself a wonderful new addition to your family!

Please email mcmuttigans@yahoo.com if you are interested in one of these amazing dogs!
