These guys and girls have worked hard to change the lives of their partners, and they deserve nothing but the best in retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few of the Circle Tail dogs who entered retirement after a lifetime of service, and a job well done. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up, &lt;b&gt;Chester&lt;/b&gt;, shown here hitting the button to open an elevator door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-57uK9-1wkK8/TkUe2Sxf3PI/AAAAAAAAAVs/e8Je8c511-o/s1600/chester.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-57uK9-1wkK8/TkUe2Sxf3PI/AAAAAAAAAVs/e8Je8c511-o/s1600/chester.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And taking a nap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YTJDcHsDXyw/TkUfITbTOTI/AAAAAAAAAVw/e8pCWRaAWZA/s1600/chester2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YTJDcHsDXyw/TkUfITbTOTI/AAAAAAAAAVw/e8pCWRaAWZA/s1600/chester2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up next, hearing dog&lt;b&gt; Sydney&lt;/b&gt;, wearing her service vest while hiking in Utah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GpKvfVdnUvY/TkUfvR2pGWI/AAAAAAAAAV0/xzzMNc_-Y8E/s1600/Sydney_Utah_Canyon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GpKvfVdnUvY/TkUfvR2pGWI/AAAAAAAAAV0/xzzMNc_-Y8E/s1600/Sydney_Utah_Canyon.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And hanging out on the couch with her bunny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IaErh41xit8/TkUhjQvjHXI/AAAAAAAAAV8/dIGwi2qtI4w/s1600/syd_and_bunny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IaErh41xit8/TkUhjQvjHXI/AAAAAAAAAV8/dIGwi2qtI4w/s1600/syd_and_bunny.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, last but not least, &lt;b&gt;Jesse&lt;/b&gt;, who was Circle Tail's second retiree. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yA3DK_XCmz4/TkUg6Fj9npI/AAAAAAAAAV4/qwgl_kWdDMI/s1600/jesse1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yA3DK_XCmz4/TkUg6Fj9npI/AAAAAAAAAV4/qwgl_kWdDMI/s320/jesse1.jpg" width="187" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesse was trained as a seizure response dog and, among his other skills, he was trained to pull an alert card out of his partner Greg's pocket when Greg was having a seizure. Jesse would then give the card to anyone he could find in order to get help for Greg. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To read more about these special dogs, click &lt;a href="http://circletail.net/index.php?page=retired-assistance-dogs"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Angie, the former partner of Sydney, set up a retirement fund in Syd's honor.

These dogs are in training to be assistance dogs, and they can tell you that this is no easy task!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dogs go through four general levels of training before they are partnered with an assistance dog recipient. Just like human students, the dogs progress through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Here are some of our current students!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elementary: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

International Assistance Dog Week&lt;/a&gt;, and we are celebrating by shining the spotlight on a few of the fabulous Circle Tail assistance dogs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up, Coda, a beautiful golden retriever who has been partnered with Marlene since 2006. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WcGqB-gx0EE/TkANQBIRWzI/AAAAAAAAAUA/v-Piwv_SXqs/s1600/Marlene_Coda2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WcGqB-gx0EE/TkANQBIRWzI/AAAAAAAAAUA/v-Piwv_SXqs/s320/Marlene_Coda2.jpg" width="231" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coda works hard to help Marlene around the house and, as you can see from this photo, has a special talent for laundry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b4J-abk4JCM/TkANgQM3KRI/AAAAAAAAAUE/btqQqWDgykE/s1600/codalaudry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b4J-abk4JCM/TkANgQM3KRI/AAAAAAAAAUE/btqQqWDgykE/s320/codalaudry.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up next, Pierre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kX6nChl0uEY/TkAOXG5eWpI/AAAAAAAAAUI/CKNUJx7lTmA/s1600/Pierre.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kX6nChl0uEY/TkAOXG5eWpI/AAAAAAAAAUI/CKNUJx7lTmA/s1600/Pierre.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This handsome yellow lab was partnered with Barb in 2009, and he does double duty as both a service dog and a hearing dog. Barb states that Pierre is a great ambassador for assistance dogs, as his goofy smile has made him a popular guy wherever he goes. Way to go, Pierre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, in our last spotlight for today, Yen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0rffDJi_o3A/TkAPs9JWMmI/AAAAAAAAAUM/Zv2CkSffTR4/s1600/AngelaandYen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0rffDJi_o3A/TkAPs9JWMmI/AAAAAAAAAUM/Zv2CkSffTR4/s1600/AngelaandYen.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yen the border collie was donated to Circle Tail from the Humane Society of Clark County, and he is certainly a great example of a rags to riches tale. This former shelter dog now helps his partner Angela with anxiety issues and panic attacks, and Angela calls him an "amazing gift." It's pretty clear from his big smile that he loves both his work, and his life with Angela!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just three of the extraordinary assistance dogs that once called Circle Tail home.

He "tickles" necks with his beard, and loves the laughter he gets in response. He is also quite a "talker," and always tries to sweet talk his way out of mischief, something he gets into quite a bit. Mauser's family is thrilled with how much laughter Mauser has brought to their home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to his human family, Mauser has a canine sister named Fleagle. He adores Fleagle, and loves snuggling with her and giving her kisses every morning.

She loves being petted so much, she will nudge her mom's arm to signal her to let the petting begin. She also loves her canine sibling Tilly, and the two of them run around so much together that they are hazardous to the grass on their lawn. It's clear from this picture though that Roxie and Tilly also love relaxing together.

Gerria reports that Mario has adjusted well to his new life, and is a blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She writes, "Mario is my hearing partner and has become very special to me... Due to my past career as a  firefighter and paramedic, I have significant hearing loss. The hearing  loss has affected me in ways you cannot even imagine.    I have 5  grandchildren and a school full of EMT, paramedic, and other medical  related students who need my attention, sometimes very quickly. Mario is  quick to tap me very softly on my leg to let me know someone is calling  my name, which is very important in my business. Mario also retrieves  items I drop because I cannot hear it when the item falls to the ground.  This can mean losing my car keys, medical equipment, money, or  important paperwork, just to mention a few items.    Mario has quickly  adjusted to Asbury College, our students at Emergency Medical Training  Professionals LLC, grandchildren, and life on the run in Kentucky!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way to go, Mario!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ww_h6BjOEFE/TaNYEGMvoHI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ySKfAR3aDtA/s1600/mario5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ww_h6BjOEFE/TaNYEGMvoHI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ySKfAR3aDtA/s1600/mario5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5561353102093453395-7492986234796020204?l=blog.circletail.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.circletail.org/2011/04/mario-hearing-dog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ww_h6BjOEFE/TaNYEGMvoHI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ySKfAR3aDtA/s72-c/mario5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561353102093453395.post-6620328905911420601</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-25T11:31:46.699-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Ella</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Happy Beginnings</category><title>Happy Beginnings: Ella</title><description>Ella's family writes that within a week of her homecoming, Ella was out of her crate and had the run of the house.

Jackson is in training to be a therapy dog, and he is getting wonderful practice by helping out at his owner's funeral home business. Jackson sits in when families come to the funeral home for services, and he has developed such a wonderful reputation as a canine grief counselor that his presence is now requested at most funerals. Jackson is a quiet source of comfort to the bereaved, and his gentle presence helps ease their grief. As Jackson's owner puts it, Jackson is "loved by all." He writes that Jackson "is a perfect angel, and I'm not sure what I would do without him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson is a professional, and he dresses the part. Keep up the great work, Jackson!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-77atS7Xs7pw/TYOQFkOhjJI/AAAAAAAAADs/HlMp1a8Cbww/s1600/jackson7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-77atS7Xs7pw/TYOQFkOhjJI/AAAAAAAAADs/HlMp1a8Cbww/s320/jackson7.jpg" width="218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5561353102093453395-7170794659981464681?l=blog.circletail.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.circletail.org/2011/03/happy-beginnings-jackson.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-77atS7Xs7pw/TYOQFkOhjJI/AAAAAAAAADs/HlMp1a8Cbww/s72-c/jackson7.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561353102093453395.post-8349449561261876208</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-15T09:49:12.881-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Adoptable dogs</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Adopt the Internet Day</category><title>Celebrate Adopt the Internet Day with the Circle Tail Dogs!</title><description>In honor of Petfinder's &lt;a href="http://www.petfinder.com/info/adopt-the-internet"&gt;Adopt the Internet Day&lt;/a&gt;, we are showcasing some of our precious adoptable dogs.

Now, he is using what he learned from Circle Tail to change the lives of at-risk youths. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victor's first Circle Tail dog was Lena, a pregnant beagle who no one else in the dog program wanted. Lena gave birth to 12 pups in Victor's cell and, as Lena had mastitis and couldn't produce milk herself, Victor spent a hot summer bottle-feeding all of her pups, often missing dinner so he could tend to the puppies. Victor says he wouldn't change the experience for anything, as it was the beginning of his new life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He later moved to the London Correctional Institute, a lower security facility, and had the good fortune to be there just as Marlys was getting the London dog program started. He signed up to learn how to work with the service dogs in training, and went on to train so many service dogs that they became his specialty. Victor says he read all the dog training books he could get his hands on, and learned as much as he could from Marlys, taking notes whenever she would give training sessions at the prison. He still considers Marlys his mentor, and consults with her regularly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Victor was released from prison in 2003, he knew he wanted to continue working with dogs. Eventually, he formed &lt;a href="http://www.dogstrainingyouth.com/index2.html"&gt;Dogs Training Youth&lt;/a&gt;, an organization to help at-risk youth by exposing them to the joy and unconditional love of a dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program started modestly, with Victor meeting with a handful of kids from his neighborhood who had taken an interest in his own dog, a beautiful Rottweiler named Cassie. Victor, Cassie, and the kids met weekly at Dorl Field in Norwood, Ohio, and Victor taught the kids how to work with Cassie using a clicker and other methods of positive reinforcement. Eventually, the kids started asking Victor if he could show them how to train their own dogs, and Dogs Training Youth was born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program, which only operates in the spring and summer due to weather and the lack of an indoor facility, pairs at-risk kids with local rescue dogs, and helps to teach the kids responsibility and respect for other living creatures through their work with the dogs. As Victor states, he sees things "start to click" for the kids as they work with the dogs, and they become excited and confident as they see what they and the dogs can accomplish together. As the kids gain more confidence and self-respect, they are less inclined to turn to the street looking for a sense of belonging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dogs Training Youth is getting ready to start its fourth season, and Victor is expecting as many as 13 kids to participate this year. Each one will have the opportunity to change their lives with the help of a dog, just as Victor changed his own life through the dogs of Circle Tail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5kRjfC_BatY/TXkvBv8NrVI/AAAAAAAAADI/4XxqPUnyPAA/s1600/dty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5kRjfC_BatY/TXkvBv8NrVI/AAAAAAAAADI/4XxqPUnyPAA/s320/dty.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photo courtesy of &lt;a href="http://sk-sk.facebook.com/pages/Dogs-Training-Youth/171345776236707?sk=wall#%21/pages/Dogs-Training-Youth/171345776236707?sk=wall"&gt;Dogs Training Youth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5561353102093453395-5905536103572443124?l=blog.circletail.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.circletail.org/2011/03/former-circle-tail-inmate-handler-works.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Julie)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5kRjfC_BatY/TXkvBv8NrVI/AAAAAAAAADI/4XxqPUnyPAA/s72-c/dty.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561353102093453395.post-8758282699189412669</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-08T07:39:42.557-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Adoptable dogs</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>twitter</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>tweetapettues</category><title>Tweet a Circle Tail Pet Tuesday</title><description>The wonderful people at &lt;a href="http://www.petfinder.com/index.html"&gt;Petfinder&lt;/a&gt; created TweetaPetTues on Twitter in order to help spread the word about rescue animals in need of homes. The idea is very simple, as all any rescue group needs to do is add the hashtag #tweetapettues to their tweets every Tuesday, and their animals can then be seen by anyone searching for this hashtag. It goes without saying that the more an animal is seen, the better chance he or she has of finding a forever home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have an adorable group of puppies who were born here at Circle Tail on December 8, 2010. Their mom, a rescue, is a German Shepherd Dog mix. Dad, who is apparently a love 'em and leave 'em type, is unknown. So these pups are a cute-as-a-button mix of who knows what, and they're all ready and waiting for their new homes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's Camille:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dgxod7rEYRg/TXZJDly27DI/AAAAAAAAACw/yxq2vSd1vrQ/s1600/Camille.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dgxod7rEYRg/TXZJDly27DI/AAAAAAAAACw/yxq2vSd1vrQ/s320/Camille.jpg" width="174" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fabio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ohdwTHoBa-c/TXZJXvpqAkI/AAAAAAAAAC0/8ban6zFXEIk/s1600/Fabio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ohdwTHoBa-c/TXZJXvpqAkI/AAAAAAAAAC0/8ban6zFXEIk/s1600/Fabio.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuji:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GEeO6GUxp-Q/TXZJfGISlwI/AAAAAAAAAC4/0aMH7xP_kGg/s1600/Fuji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GEeO6GUxp-Q/TXZJfGISlwI/AAAAAAAAAC4/0aMH7xP_kGg/s1600/Fuji.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jett:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rmxe5TmFWoo/TXZJniRmnXI/AAAAAAAAAC8/2WOfVYSlGDk/s1600/Jett.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rmxe5TmFWoo/TXZJniRmnXI/AAAAAAAAAC8/2WOfVYSlGDk/s1600/Jett.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Lil Dude:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yy_x77jLCNo/TXZKk11eIjI/AAAAAAAAADA/sC12va0bjvk/s1600/LilDude.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yy_x77jLCNo/TXZKk11eIjI/AAAAAAAAADA/sC12va0bjvk/s1600/LilDude.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;And five other equally precious dolls named Mercedes, Miranda, Rocque, Sparks, and Snoop Dog.

Our inaugural Happy Beginning is Lenny, a superstar who is sure to get our series off on the right paw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before he came to Circle Tail, Lenny spent his life tied to a tree. It was a rough start, and he had the rough, unkempt look to prove it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Vkb9rSrKZ7k/TXE4I6-69wI/AAAAAAAAACo/A7Hr_EkJgF4/s1600/lenny1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Vkb9rSrKZ7k/TXE4I6-69wI/AAAAAAAAACo/A7Hr_EkJgF4/s1600/lenny1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's clear from Lenny's expression that he was a timid and scared little guy, and who can blame him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Lenny found himself in the safe and friendly world of Circle Tail, things started to improve. The wonderful Circle Tail groomers worked their magic, and brought out the handsome, playful boy hiding underneath Lenny's scruffy coat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy to strut his stuff, Lenny was soon adopted, and found a home beyond his wildest dreams.

Under regular instruction by Circle Tail, inmates care for and train the dogs and puppies that are in the program. "My best memory was when Circle Tail brought me a pregnant dog named Lena that I agreed to take and care for. Lena had 12 pups in my cell. It was the first time pups were born in that prison! It was a hot summer in the cell and I missed chow a lot, but I wouldn't change the experience for anything!" - Victor E.
