Four fostered dogs have been paired with four specifically-chosen inmates to learn how to walk on a lead, ignore distractions, and obey commands.
THUNDER BAY — A new initiative at the Thunder Bay Correctional Centre is boosting inmate morale while simultaneously helping rescue dogs prepare for adoption.
Currently, four fostered dogs are working with four specifically-chosen inmates to learn how to walk on a lead, ignore distractions, and obey commands. Bradshaw said the participating inmates are chosen based on the nature of the charges they were convicted of, and their behaviour while incarcerated. "We're looking to have a long run with this. And just in general, even outside the dog program, partner with community agencies to give the inmates an ability to give back to their communities, and influence positive behaviour within the institution."
