Dixie’s FAQs

What is Baldwin County Jail Dog Program ’s adoption process?

Dogs in our program live and train with prison inmates. Meet and greets are scheduled only for approved adopters, and are conducted away from the prison. Potential adopters are approved through a review of their adoption application. We ask that all human family members and other dogs living in the home come to the meet and greet. We do not adopt our dogs into homes with children under 4 years of age. Children ages 4-8 are considered on a case-by-case basis. Cat tests can be done upon request from approved adopters. Home checks are conducted at the time our dogs are delivered to their forever home by the program instructor.
