Post #10 The Boss

         One of the great things we do at Helping Hands is we work with the local woman's prison and have a training camp set up with them called Blue Ribbon. About every eight weeks or so we bring dogs to them and they teach them a whole bunch of tricks until they return to the shelter to be adopted out. This program has many amazing benefits such as the women prisoners getting to interact with the dogs and the dogs are returned to us with training that adopters love. At the camp they learn to sit, stay, lay down, leave it, to walk on a leash and sometimes more if they are quick learners.
        For years we have had a lot of great feedback on this program and we will continue to do it for a long time. Boss is a two year old German Shepard who went through Blue Ribbon. When he came back he knew a ton of tricks and he is a very well behaved young man. He was with us for about two weeks then got adopted of course. All of the staff and volunteers made sure he was spoiled rotton while he was with us though. I love Boss and the family who adopted him is truly blessed because they brought home an amazing dog that is going to bring them joy and love forever.
        A lot of people want a dog really bad but don't have the time to train them like they would like to so this program is excellent. We have families that come in specifically for our Blue Ribbon dogs, like Boss. If you are looking for a new loving family member but you're worried about training, come check out our Blue Ribbon dogs!! If you would like additional training or have a dog at home already who may need some classes, we also have a training class of our own that has been getting amazing results. If you are interested visit our website or call and ask for information.

This is Boss a few days before he got adopted. Isn't he incredibly handsome? I will always miss him and I am so happy he found his forever home!
