Who We Help

New Leash on Life USA is a new generation, non-profit prison dog-training program that saves the lives of shelter dogs at-risk of euthanasia and gives incarcerated participants a chance for redemption. Previously “unadoptable” shelter dogs, many at the brink of death, now find loving forever homes. Additionally, participants who have been in and out of prison most of their adult lives now have skills they can use to gain productive employment.

Why We Help

Restore Lives

Our mission is to provide services for participants that include life skills, job training, paid internships, and employment opportunities for a successful return to society so that communities are strengthened through economic development.

Reduce Recidivism

The program reduces recidivism by giving opportunities to people who previously didn’t have access. We help participants reenter society by providing training, life skills, transportation, and employment opportunities that keep them out of jail. We promote safe neighborhoods by assisting the disenfranchised in society with a successful transition back into their communities and reuniting with their families.

Rescue Dogs

We rescue shelter dogs that are at-risk for euthanasia who deserve love, attention, and a second chance in life. Canines in the program are trained and cared for 24/7 by their inmate handler and are under the supervision of a certified dog trainer, vet techs, and veterinarians.
