WOOF Program

WOOF Program

WOOF, which stands for Working On Our Futures, is a joint initiative between the Nova Scotia SPCA and the Department of Justice.  Launched in 2012, WOOF is now a proud fixture at the facility.

For inmates, it’s an opportunity to learn responsibility, how to show respect, patience, care and love for an animal – skills that can help them change the direction of their lives.
