Meet Roxie, a rescue from Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan. The program takes in dogs who have been abandoned in shelters or surrendered by their families, placing them in Lakeland Correctional Facility to work with the inmates for 10 weeks. This relationship provides the dogs with basic training, while also helping inmates develop a sense of responsibility and ownership.
PMN offers many training opportunities throughout the year including a class on how to use your smartphone to create a compelling short video. Learn more about our smartphone class and get started as a neighborhood reporter by emailing stories@publicmedianet.org.
