In loving memory
of our wonderful friend and board member, Bill Hamilton, who died accidentally on September 25th. We have never known anyone kinder, more generous, and more loving to both animals and humans than Bill. His imprint on our work will never fade.
We miss you dearly, Bill.

Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded war veterans and first responders, as well as explosive-detection canines for law enforcement.
Puppies enter prison at the age of 8 weeks and live with their inmate puppy-raisers for approximately 24 months. As the puppies mature into well-loved, well-behaved dogs, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society rather than take from it. PBB programs bring the love and healing of dogs to hundreds of individuals every year. The dogs bring hope and pride to their raisers, and independence and security to those they serve.
VIDEO: To the outside eye, it is just a group of dogs playing in the yard. However, these pups are in the middle of a prison yard at a maximum-security prison in Bedford Hills, N.Y. getting training to become service dogs.
