DEMPSEY is a 3-year-old Lab/Bully mix who weighs 100 lbs. He was confiscated by animal control when it was learned he was chained up all the time without shelter. Despite his environment and his size, Dempsey is really a big, goofy puppy. He is in our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program to harness his energy and size. His social skills are also being assessed and, after two weeks, he's doing wonderfully! If anything, he's proven to be on the shy side. In his inmates words, "He is learning to play with other dogs," and is doing well with his brother Noble (also in our program) and a young female Zuzu.
