My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m Zelda, a sweet 14 week old female terrier mix. Me and my siblings were found on the streets of New Braunfels and boy is it scary out there. No cute puppy should be without a home so it was a lucky break when the ladies from Paws in Prison discovered me at the shelter and selected me for their institution of higher learning AKA the Dog Dorm!!!!!!! OMG just wait till you see what they have in store for me and you, for that matter, since you will benefit from my education. While I’m at Paws in Prison they will teach me all of my basic obedience commands, crate and potty train me, teach me to walk on a leash and I’ll get a thorough vet check including microchipping. Please fill out an adoption application today so I can show you all my new skills.

More about this rescue

We are a prison located in Lockhart TX. We rescue dogs from rural area shelters and take them into the prison for training on basic obedience. They are also house trained and crate trained. Training is done by the women inmate handlers. A professional trainer comes to the prison weekly to teach the inmates how to train the dogs. Dogs live at the prison for 2-3 months, in the cells with the inmates, while they are being trained.

All dogs are up to date on their shots, heartworm negative and on preventative, spayed/neutered, microchipped and trained for basic obedience.
