Bath day , courtesy of ABEL trainer, Eric. helps rehabilitate inmates at various correctional facilities, by teaching them how to raise and train service puppies… inmates gain skills and a sense of purpose, and puppies love it. Most of the time…🤣

Puppy Kindergarten has provided me with an amazing and unique opportunity to get involved while also giving me a nice break from classes and schoolwork. I have a dog at home and I’m so grateful to have found a community at Duke that loves dogs as much as I do and gives me the chance to be with them when I can’t be with mine :) It's always one of the highlights of my week!

'Puppy Kindergarten has always been a place of stress relief and joy for me. Even before I was a volunteer, I would come by regularly to visit the puppies and it made my day better without fail. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to volunteer this semester!'
