Prison Pet Partnership Program Gig Harbor, Washington

Wonderful life saving program. Helps the animals, the inside staff and the adopters

great program. fair prices. take good care of your pets. there is literally no possible way for your animal to escape

Absolutely the best. Hands down. (to respond to those who complain about the process of in and out: it's a prison. And it is a quicker process than every single experience I've had at any other boarding facility where I wait for someone to come get my dog. The moment you walk back, they come meet you to take your dog. It's not hard, and doesn't take that long.) Having a full bred Malinois rescue, dog care is extremely difficult. Cannot be around children, other dogs are iffy, no other animals, and if you don't know how to handle a baby t-rex, you are out. These ladies are TRAINED and trained well. They can read the dog's body language and adapt to their breed temperment. I had been taking him somewhere different in the past, and he always came home with extremely high anxiety (panting excessively, shaking, crying, even peeing a little). His very first trial visit for three nights at PPP, and he came strolling out as if he found a second home. His caretaker took a GREAT deal of extra time with him in his kennel, one on one. She took additional time to introduce my dog to the other ladies, and built a close bond with him. When we left, my dog was calm, relaxed. He just sat in the car and put his head out the window. No shaking, no panting. Nothing! The ladies in the program are experts with dogs, and are very professional. I took a tour and the entire kennel area is spic and span clean! Not a single bit of foul odor. The run area outside is free of poo and very well kept. They have a highly organized system and follow it to a T. Best of all, these ladies really do love your pet. They spend a LOT of time with them (not just a quick potty break). They really do invest time and love; I feel 150% confident that my pet/family member is in good hands. It is as if he is visiting his second home.

Great place for your pets grooming and boarding. Last time we went to pick our pets up the wait was extended because of the head count, but it is a prison so there a certain considerations that must be accepted. Our animals are always lovingly cared for and every time we take them they go with excitement.

Very good price and care.

We left our sweet dog in the care of prison pet partnership and I have to tell you that our dog was treated like royalty. He was very happy to see us but he was very affectionate to his caretaker. The women who took care of him were very dedicated to the care of the animals that they are assigned. We will be using the service from now on. The cost is extremely reasonable compared to other facilities. Their are training, boarding and adoption services available. Really happy dogs and nice people.

These are amazing group of people to work with friendly and respectable.

They did a great job grooming my active terrier. He seems to love it there even for boarding.

Great folks, excellent service. Killer prices.

This is not only a wonderful program but the care our dogs get is phenomenal! The first time we boarded our oldest dog there was 8 weeks after a TPLO surgery and we got her back in great condition. We were concerned leaving her after just having had such an extensive surgery but they were wonderful with her. We have boarded her and out other dog there 2 other times and they only draw-back is how far out you have to plan to get your animal boarded. Also, the records they keep daily and you get upon picking your dog up is wonderful as well. In addition, the cost is very reasonable as well.

Great care of your pet, kind of difficult to get in and out, but worth the effort.

Excellent program featuring dog boarding and grooming at a very reasonable price. This program gives the inmates a marketable skill and helps the community. Very popular so book well ahead. They also do assistance dog training, and occasionally offer carefully vetted dogs for adoption.

Looking for my sister name is Ramona Jean Ward pls. It's alright for me to visit her??????

Excellent place to board or groom your dogs for a very reasonable price. You do have full out some paperwork prior to bringing your dog, but well worth it. You can even treat your furry friend to a spa day.

Rhe best care ever for my cat

Staff are compassionate and caring towards all your pets. Volunteers are so dedicated. Donations are welcome and very helpful. Call ahead for ideas for donations that us needed.

They took excellent care of my Romeo recently while he boarded there for 2 nights. He came out groomed, clipped, and happy.

Does good job of boarding animal

Enjoyable tour of grooming facility. Purdy Prison looks like a college campus. The grooming staff (inmates) were very personable and pets and staff appeared happy. Dogs enjoyed showing off their talent in responding to all commands. It was during an unusual heat wave and several fans were cooling the grooming area. Most dogs were in doors except for two who wanted to chase balls outdoors and jump into the small pool of water. Exciting to hear about the "therapy dog program" as it is a proven fact that animals have a profound effect on all of us.

A great program. Great dog grooming at a reasonable price.

Great program, they love our dog and we love them. Such wonderful people. Oh, and our dog loves going there for a day of beauty treatment. Highly recommend

They do a REALLY superb job at PPP, and at a good price, BUT getting dogs in & out is daunting. They herd the dogs in groups to the groomers (for convenience & security reasons), and confine VERY large dogs together, in a VERY small space, between fences. This invites altercations between dogs. My dog was attacked twice by aggressive Labs... it was at this point I decided that whatever discount there was to go to the State Correction Facility for dog grooming, it wasn't worth it, and I left without getting my dog groomed. I won't go back. It's an excellent program, and they do an excellent job, but someone needs to come up with a better way of transporting dogs from reception to the groomers.
