Meet Bucky! He’s a graduate of the Second Chance Pups program, where dogs from local shelters and rescues are carefully matched with individuals at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. These men prepare the dogs to be adoption ready by training them in basic obedience, while providing human socialization and interaction with other dogs.

Bucky already has a forever home he will go to soon, but anyone interested in adopting a dog through this fantastic program can find an application on the program’s website at www.secondchancepups.com.
