I have been adopting rescued pups since 1993. Barkley LeRoy and Penelope (Penny) Louise were adopted on May 12, 2012, from Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan, www.rpsm.org.  Barkley and Penny are graduates of the inmate training program at the Coldwater Correctional Facility in Coldwater, Michigan. Both of them were awarded a Good Canine Citizen Certificate.

Penny’s story was documented in the “American Strays, The Series” in Detroit, Michigan by The World Animal Awareness Society, www.wa2s.org. Her story is told in the following three links:
