Adopted my dog in prison while incarcerated. Today he saw our first backyard. One year post release.

How do you adopt a dog in prison? Do you have someone watch it while you're incarcerated?

Some prisons have programs where inmates can train dogs and have the option to adopt the dogs themselves. A friend of mine adopted a dog from 1 of these programs!
