Project Program began when she
came to BCTC as a nurse.
"At first, I merely interacted with
the pups on campus, and ultimately
got talked into taking a pup home. As
is often said, 'The rest is history.' I have
been bringing them home ever since —
some just for weekend raising and some
through adoption," Anne said. "Being at
BCTC with the pups is a real treat on one
hand, but difficult on the other. I get to
know most of them, and it is bittersweet
when they leave to go back to New York.
I know that is why the inmates train
them; I know that is why they are here.
Nonetheless, it is difficult for all involved
the day they leave us."
