Dogs & Criminal Law

Published by Jessica Burke on

Burke Law is home to dog lovers and criminal law lovers. It is no surprise that we support Puppies Behind Bars.

Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded war veterans and first responders, as well as explosive-detection canines for law enforcement.

Puppies enter prison at the age of 8 weeks and live with their inmate puppy-raisers for approximately 24 months. As the puppies mature into well-loved, well-behaved dogs, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society rather than take from it. PBB programs bring the love and healing of dogs to hundreds of individuals every year. The dogs bring hope and pride to their raisers, and independence and security to those they serve.

Consider making a donation to this fantastic organization that unites dogs, wounded warriors and criminal defendants.
