New Leash on Life USA is a Pennsylvania 501(c) (3) non-profit, prison-dog training program, dedicated to improving the life of inmates and saving the lives of dogs. New Leash on Life USA is one of the country’s most unique prison-dog training programs. We save the lives of at-risk shelter dogs by training prison inmates to care for, and socialize them to enhance their adoptability. Inmates attend workshops on life skills and job readiness, and many receive opportunities for paid internships in the animal care field when they are paroled. Previously "unadoptable" shelter dogs, many at the brink of death, now find loving forever homes. Additionally, inmates who have been in and out of prison most of their adulthood now have a skill they can use to gain productive employment. Improving the life of inmates and saving the lives of dogs. New Leash on Life USA believes everyone deserves a second chance.

New Leash on Life USA is a unique prison dog training organization that impacts social problems, reduces recidivism and supports veterans with an outstanding program that restores an individual's self-respect and sense of self-worth while protecting dogs from euthanasia.
