PAWS ON PAROLE
                            Learning, Giving, Changing Lives
                                   
The Paws on Parole program pairs shelter dogs from Alachua County Animal Services
 with inmates from the Florida Dept. of Corrections. The dogs live with and are trained by
 the inmates for 8 weeks. Using positive training techniques the handlers teach the dogs
 the basic skills necessary to pass the AKC's Canine Good Citizen Test and to improve
 their chance of adoption into a forever home.

 If you are interested in adopting a "Paws on Parole" dog please contact Hilary Hynes at
 Alachua County Animal Services. 352-264-6881
