To get more information on a Pups On Parole dog, please contact a representative of the Lassen Humane Society at 530 251-7247 or e-mail ilovepopdogs@yahoo.com. The Pups On Parole Program started in June of 2007 to help give homeless dogs a second chance at finding an adoptive family. All dogs in the program spent time in our local county shelter, surrendered by their owners or picked up as strays and waiting for their owners to redeem them or to be adopted by new families. The selected dogs are brought current on vaccinations, spayed/neutered if necessary, micro chipped, and heart worm tested. They then are taken to the California Correctional Center Firehouse where they are assigned to a trainer/ inmate fire fighter. These trainers groom and work with each dog and give them the extra time and attention they need to become wonderful family companions. Most graduates are house trained and know basic obedience commands. As of December 2018, 535 dogs have been adopted through this program. To meet any of the Pups On Parole dogs, arrangements must be made in advance.
