Puppies Behind Bars trains incarcerated individuals to raise service dogs, facility dogs, and explosive detection canines which we donate to veterans and first responders. The dogs enter prison when they are eight weeks old and live there for approximately two years. During that time, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society, rather than take from it.

Featuring: Ashley Gilbertson and Ava Pellor, “Puppies Behind Bars”, curated by Gloria Gilbert Stoga
