Wednesday showing how placework is done! These dogs get a solid foundation in the fundamentals of training and are better versions of themselves when they get out. Wednesday found her home but we have several Pawsitive Change pups still waiting and hoping for that perfect family! If you’ve been looking for the perfect pup please check out our Pawsitive Change dogs. They’re putting in the work to hopefully win your heart ❤️

Sinatra got his name for his handsome good looks and cool-guy demeanor, just like the one and only Frank. And boy is this guy a looker. He’s absolutely gorgeous! At the shelter, Sinatra was the quiet one. Always on his bed. Calm. Easygoing. The kind of dog that doesn’t beg for attention and sadly, the kind that often gets overlooked. He was one of the helper dogs in playgroups because he was so well grounded and his even temperament bought him extra time when euthanasia lists were made. Shelter staff and volunteers didn’t want to see such an awesome dog euthanized so they relentlessly advocated for him. We heard their pleas. 

Now that he’s out of the shelter, we get to see the full Sinatra. Still cool. Still gentle. Still that laid-back soul but now with a spark in his eyes and a zest for life that comes from knowing he finally got his second chance. Sinatra is such a good boy that he was chosen for our Pawsitive Change program. He’ll spend time gaining basic obedience skills and becoming an even more incredible companion. Have you been looking for a well rounded dog like Sinatra? He’s ready.
He’s waiting and he’s available for adoption now you just need to apply!

If you didn’t think there was love in prison we’re here to prove you wrong. Dogs bring the love that was missing and for some of these guys it’s the 1st time they’ve let their guard down or felt that emotion in years. It’s truly transformative the good they bring and another reminder of just how amazing our canine friends can be.

End of the year recap from CCI A yard!

12/29/2025

We are proud of what these men and dogs achieve and our trainers challenge them each and every class. We want it to be a little bit hard because how will they grow if we’re not constantly pushing them towards new goals? And the dogs are ALWAYS up for each challenge. It’s so inspiring to watch what they can accomplish together!
