The Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance (CPAA) is committed to saving the lives of dogs and cats in central Pennsylvania through rescuing, fostering, adoptions, aggressive spay/neuter programs, training, and public outreach and education.

HOPE (Hounds of Prison Education)

HOPE is a unique CPAA life-saving program that began in March 2005. To date, over 300 dogs have been saved through this collaborative program that partners animal shelters, rescues, correctional institutions, and entire communities.

By the time the HOPE dogs are paroled, they have become more confident, better behaved, and they are looking forward to starting a new life on the outside.

The Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance (CPAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to save the lives of dogs in central Pennsylvania through rescuing, fostering, adoptions, training through its Hounds of Prison Education (HOPE) training and rehabilitation program at the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill (SCI-Camp Hill), and public outreach and education on responsible pet ownership.
