Nonprofit saves 22 dogs from death by sending them to prison

A young nonprofit has saved 22 dogs from euthanasia by sending them to prison.

Coldwater's Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan, formed in spring 2007, partnered with the Coldwater Complex prisons in February for a foster care program that matches pooches facing the needle with prisoners in need of rehabilitation.

Coldwater is the first and only state prison with a prison pets program, said Russ Marlan, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman.

   I am writing [a book] about the prison dog programs.
   I want people interested in these programs to be aware of our new blog and web site, so that you can contribute to the conversation if you’d like.

   We’re working to make this a resource and referral center over time as well.

   When the book is out, we’ll be offering copies at reduced rates to shelters, programs and more for fundraising purposes.
   Regards,
   Patty
