Adoptables Program at Tecumseh State Correctional Institution
Domesti-PUPS is a unique organization that has a breeding program (for service work) and a rescue program. We support both endeavors. In our Adoptables program we provide educational programming for inmate handlers in the prison facility, acquire dogs from shelters and rescue organizations, and teach the handlers to provide basic obedience training for these dogs with the goal of making them more adoptable to their forever loving homes.
