As we prepare to launch our For Honor programs, we are already building meaningful connections within the community. Through visits to local correctional facilities, we are beginning conversations with individuals who may benefit from connection, compassion, and the healing relationships we and are animals are designed to provide. These visits are an important first step in building the relationships and that will help shape the future of the For Honor pillar.
Programs Coming Soon
We support and assist formerly incarcerated individuals with rehabilitation and transition through structured animal programs that teach empathy, responsibility, and offer a new path forward.
