Who are the “Court Case Dogs”

Court Case Dogs have “done the time but not the crime” — victims of neglect or abuse who have been rescued by police and animal control from abusers and are associated with criminal court cases against their abusers. They are part of a program in which Safe Humane Chicago assesses them, engages volunteers and interns to socialize and train them to be irresistible family companions, transfers them to partner rescue groups, and provides them lifetime behavioral consultation or support.
