St. Joseph Bay Humane Society is proud to announce that our D.A.W.G.S. in Prison program has received a grant from the T.Douglas Hale Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation. St. Joseph Bay Humane Society received $2,000 to support our dog-inmate program, D.A.W.G.S. in Prison (Developing Adoptable dogs With Good Sociability).
The D.A.W.G.S. mission is to provide training and education for both inmate and dog, resulting in permanent homes for the dogs, viable job skills for the inmate, and productive jobs and a law-abiding life upon release.
The grant provided will be used to give the troubled dogs of St. Joseph Bay Humane Society a second chance at life. Funding will be used to provide training tools, medical expenses for dogs, and the many more facets required for the success of our program.
The Philadelphia Foundation was established on December 20, 1918 for the administration of charitable trust, and is in the business of “building community” through:
·                     Building philanthropic resources
·                     Managing those resources well
·                     Distributing those resources effectively
For more information on D.A.W.G.S., visit the website at: www.dawgsinprison.com

St. Joseph Bay Humane Society wishes to Thank all involved who continue to make D.A.W.G.S. in Prison a tremendous success!
