Pawsitive Partners Prison Program

In May of 2008, Monty’s Home received state approval to start its first Pawsitive Partners Prison Program (PPPP), in conjunction with a local correctional facility – the first companion dog prison program in Southeastern North Carolina!

The state generously provided funds to build kennels at the correction facility, BUT, Monty’s Home assumes all other costs associated with the program – veterinary bills, grooming supplies, food, toys, bedding, leashes, collars, treats – all expenses associated with proper canine care and training. This important program is totally  staffed by volunteers and exits only THROUGH YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

After temperament evaluation and heartworm testing, trainers select five dogs from a local shelter.   They are then spayed/neutered, brought up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped before entering the Pawsitive Partners Prison Program.

Living at the facility with their specially screened inmate-trainers, the dogs go through a nine-week training course.  Inmates, under the guidance of Monty’s Home volunteer trainers, train the dogs in basic obedience and household manners. After graduation, the wonderfulness starts again for five more dogs!

On-Line Adoption Application

When a Monty’s Home dog joins his forever home, he is current on heartworm prevention and up to date with vaccinations, spayed/neutered and microchipped.  In addition, he comes complete with his own crate, a month of heartworm prevention, leash and collar, one-week supply of food and a training DVD for his new family.
