Puppies Behind Bars

Holiday Card Version 11
Puppies Behind Bars
Puppies Behind Bars trains inmates to raise puppies to become service dogs for the disabled and explosive detection canines for law enforcement. 

Their two-year-old Dog Tags program provides psychiatric service dogs to help war veterans who are battling post-traumatic stress disorder.  The dogs obey 87 different commands, and can rouse a soldier from a flashback, dial 911 on a phone, and sense an impending panic attack.  By next month they will have paired 34 dogs with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.  

They offer 13 card designs; it's a great cause.
