Everyone’s Christmas wish came true…
Well, almost everyone. 🎄

All around her, families found their perfect match, stockings were filled, and homes were warmed by wagging tails. Bama watched it all happen—and she’s still holding onto her biggest wish of all.

Bama didn’t get a family for Christmas this year, but she’s dreaming just as hard, hoping her people are still out there. A cozy couch, a forever home, and someone to love her every single day—that’s all she wants.

Bama, a beautiful happy 3 year old lab mix, has been waiting patiently . . . for 469 days . . . for her miracle.

Christmas may have passed, but miracles don’t run on a schedule. ❤️

Ready to take this happy girl home and make her your new best friend—maybe even your pup’s favorite too? An application gets the process started - caninecellmates.org

Meet Joaquin and Pebbles. Two beings who came from very different worlds—but were both stuck in their own cycles.
Inside our program, they helped each other heal, learn, and grow.
He learned patience; the dog learned trust.
He built skills; the dog built confidence.
And together? They changed their futures.
This is what breaking cycles looks like.

Many of the dogs who enter our program come from shelters after being overlooked, afraid, or misunderstood.
Inside our program, these dogs receive structure, training, confidence — and unconditional love.
They become adoptable. They become chosen.
Your gift helps break the cycle of abandonment, one dog at a time. Together, we break cycles.

The cycle of incarceration is hard to escape—until someone believes in your potential. Through our Beyond the Bars program, men learn responsibility, patience, empathy, and the skills needed to build a better path forward.

Your support turns a cycle of incarceration into a cycle of opportunity.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re focusing on something powerful: breaking cycles. Cycles of incarceration … Cycles of abandonment … Cycles of hopelessness.

At Canine CellMates, we see change happen every day—because when you invest in people and dogs who deserve a second chance, you help rewrite futures.

Together, we break cycles. And it starts with you.

At Canine CellMates, we believe in the power of positive reinforcement — not just for our dogs, but for the men in our program, too.

Science shows that all mammals (yes, even the two-legged kind!) learn best through encouragement and positivity. That’s why our training room features a chalkboard filled with daily quotes and inspirational messages — little reminders that growth, healing, and transformation take time.

Positive change doesn’t happen overnight — it’s a journey. And sometimes, all it takes is a few kind words to spark that first step forward.

Have a quote or saying that inspires you? Drop it in the comments — we’d love to add it to our board!

About a month ago, we put out a little SOS for help — our treat pouches were looking ruff!

Well, our amazing friend and longtime supporter Christi came to the rescue! She sent brand new treat pouches for our program participants, and as you can see, the guys were thrilled to show them off.

Thank you so much, Christi, for always having our backs (and our pockets full of treats)!
