Pups & Prisoners

• "For most of my life I lived a very selfish lifestyle which led me to prison. I see Paws for Life as a chance to save a dog's life. I understand what it's like to be caged up. Also I know this could be a life saving program for these dogs. Plus Paws for Life gives me the chance to give back, to do something for someone else, to give back to a society that I cheated..." -- Travielle
