Lola is a female Black Mouthed Cur mix, about 6 months old and “sugar sweet” according to the volunteers at Clayton County Animal Control. She has a “freedom fund” you can donate to online, which will be given to a rescue that saves her in order to help defray medical and foster care costs.
These three amigos are young pups from the same litter, two female and one male, maybe a Lab or Border Collie mix if I had to guess, and they’re available for adoption from the Clayton County Animal Shelter. Here is a link to their freedom fund.
Bates is a little Hound dog mix who is scared to be in a cage in the Clayton County Animal Shelter. You can donate online to his freedom fund to help him find a rescue group to save his life.
Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway (R-Badass) started the “Jail Dogs” program, officially called “Project Second Chance” three years ago in order to save dogs from the euthanasia line at Gwinnett County Animal Shelter while providing a disciplinary “carrot” for use with inmates, and vocational training to help them come out of their sentences with useful and marketable skills. From the Gwinnett Daily Post:
The jail dogs program (officially “Operation Second Chance”) celebrated its third anniversary with a cookout Wednesday, Sheriff Butch Conway and the Society of Humane Friends welcoming in all those who have lent a hand in making it a success. Since its inception in 2010, the jail has rescued 173 dogs — the 156 that have been adopted and the 17 currently working with inmates.
When it was started, Operation Second Chance was believed to be the only such program in the country being operated at a county jail. After being thoroughly screened, inmate handlers live with the dogs 24/7, sleeping with them, feeding them, bathing them and working with volunteers to help train them.
The canines typically see a quick turnaround in demeanor and obedience.
