Two of the four adult dogs that came to the event were adopted and all nine of the puppies raised at York Correctional Institute have many adoption applications as of today and will be placed with the most suitable families. The puppies were born just days before arriving at the facility and the inmates have been caring for them and have begun their training. The pups mother was owned by a young woman who had a difficult start in life. She contacted Dog Days (also Red Dog Project) to see if they could help her with her beloved dog and the newborn pups. Not only did they step up to help the dog ( now spayed) and babies, this young woman has a job and place to live and a much better chance at life. It's a beautiful thing.

Three of the nine pups, could they BE any more adorable?

The Red Dog Project is a story of second chances and how important it is
to open our hearts and mind to the concept in so many areas in life.
It's also a story of prejudice, and how we can squash it, one step at a time.
Hooray for the Underdog!
hooray for 2 adult dogs finding a home - and may the pups all go to loving places.
