Introducing AAH's New Program with a Nashville Prison

Blog Date:  September 28th

All About Hounds is proud to announce our participation in a new program to help the hounds; the Prison Program.  We have been invited by our friends at Music City Greyhound Adoption to join them in placing Greyhounds in a local prison for a period for approximately twelve weeks.  The dogs are worked with daily by carefully selected inmates who prepare them for their forever homes.  The hounds also receive formal training from a professional trainer once a week for 6 weeks.  This class teaches them basic obedience.  This program is well established and until recently was run by the Greyhound Rescue Foundation of Tennessee.  They graciously asked if Music City Greyhound Adoption would like to take over the program and in turn Music City asked if we would partner with them.

These programs have existed for years in the Greyhound community, and have been proven time and time again to work for the hounds, for the inmates, for the community, and for the adoption group!  We placed two beautiful hounds in the prison program on Saturday, August 1^st.  These hounds along with three beauties from Music City Greyhound Adoption will graduate in October, and then they will be ready for their forever homes. 

This is an exciting opportunity for All About Hounds and we look forward to working with Music City Greyhound Adoption and Corrections Corporation of America to FIND HOMES FOR THESE HOUNDS!!!!!!
