Prison Pet Partnership Program

About

Boarding/Daycare/Grooming/Training. It began in 1981 as the result of a collaborative effort between Sister Pauline Quinn, a Dominican Nun, and Dr. Leo Bustad, former chair of Washington State University’s veterinary program, who believed that rehabilitation could be facilitated by the human-animal bond. Sister Pauline and Dr. Bustad worked cooperatively with Washington State University, Tacoma Community College, and the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) to create innovative programming for the individuals residing at Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW). Prison Pet Partnership is the catalyst for all other prison pet programs around the globe.
