New Puppies Arrive at Pine Grove

Christmas came early for some of the inmate dog handlers at SCI Pine Grove.
We received four labs from New Hope Assistance Dogs in Warren, PA, on Dec. 21. New Hope is a charitable organization dedicated to enable dogs to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities and to educate the general public. The goal is to provide recipients with an Assistance Dog comprised of the high standards that are expected of Assistance Dogs International Organization (ADIO). The goal of their Assistance Dog is to provide them with more freedom and greater independence in life. To provide stability for those suffering from balance issues, and to provide both children and adults with Assistance Dogs to help in both mental and physical disabilities.
