Paws and purpose: Cook County Sheriff’s program prepares dogs for adoption
COOK COUNTY, Ill. - Meet the Cook County Sheriff's dogs looking for a forever home!
The Cook County Sheriff's Tails of Redemption program pairs pups with people in custody to allow them the opportunity to train. The individuals prepare the dogs for adoption, as well as learn patience, compassion, and problem-solving skills to help them advance in their job readiness and other life skills.
Once the pups are all trained, they're ready to find their forever homes in the community. Currently, the program has 12 dogs available for adoption. Check out their adorable profiles below.
