k9 connection, a 501(c)(3) project of OPCC, is an experiential program which educates and inspires high risk youth through bonding with and training homeless shelter dogs Each individual program serves counselor referred teens at participating schools, and concludes with a graduation ceremony and the placement of each dog in a permanent home. Our work then continues with monthly follow-up “check-ins” and student mentoring for all k9 connection graduates.
